A school board member called his peer a ‘hot chick,’ but promises he’s not sexist
Beaufort County school board member Paul Roth doesn’t have an opponent yet for his re-election bid in November. Friday, he showed he doesn’t have much respect for his peers on the board, either.
In a wide-ranging interview that began as a question on the dearth of candidates challenging three incumbents up for re-election, Roth denigrated his colleagues’ experience, called some on the board “screw ups” and implied another was elected in part because she was a “hot chick.”
When asked Friday why Roth thought there were no challengers yet in the three incumbents’ races — his, Earl Campbell’s and JoAnn Orischak’s, the Okatie representative answered by detailing the qualities of each person. Campbell, he said, is intelligent and well-respected in District 1’s “African community,” in Gray’s Hill and Lobeco.
As for himself, Roth repeated that he has a long history of board service.

Shout it louder--I'm not sexist, I'm not sexist, I'm not sexist!
