A student school board representative is speaking out after a Board of Education member called her “hot” at a school board meeting.

WJHL reports the drama began in April when Washington County Board of Education member Keith Ervin addressed Hannah Campbell, a then-student at David Crockett High School (DCHS) in Johnson City, Tennessee. A livestream video of the meeting shows Ervin at one point putting his arm around Campbell and hugging her from the side.
