Remarks that lean toward sexual harassment, and other inappropriate remarks in general, can't be tolerated in the workplace, especially the government workplace. So officials should promptly discern whether Rob Coffman, the Forsyth County elections director, made remarks that some of his former employees say he did.
Coffman is a good elections director by most accounts, but he must be held to the same standards as any other employee.
He's accused of asking a female employee in 2009 if she was a "MILF" — a gutter term for a mother who is considered sexually attractive, the Journal's Wesley Young reported. Coffman is also accused of wrongly telling employees that a co-worker out on medical leave had a sex-change operation. He denies making the remarks.
