"BEAUFORT COUNTY, SC (WJCL) - Right now a school board controversy.  A Beaufort County school board member in the hot seat.  He's accused of making inappropriate comments about other board members with some even calling the comments racist and sexist.  Now his colleagues are taking a stand.  Residents were outraged after school board member Paul Roth was quoted in a lowcountry newspaper article, calling his female counterpart Joann Orishak a \"hot chick.\"  He was quoted as saying that's what helped her get elected.  He said board member Earl Campbell was respected by the \"African\" community and also said several other members are, quote, \"screw ups.\"  The board unanimously stood against those remarks.  Residents also had a chance to speak out.\"The behavior was so inappropriate and so unprofessional and so insulting...should I add sexist and racist to the list?\" - Rebecca Bass / Concerned ResidentAn empty seat at last night's meeting for the man under fire.  Roth did attend an earlier private board meeting.  He is the district 6 representative.  With an upcoming election in November, some say he shouldn't run again.  Some residents with a local education group say they've even started interviewing possible candidates to run against Roth in November."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
