School Board Chair On Facebook Post Attacking Muslims: I Only Shared It
[su_gootxttop]
Surely, when you share something on Facebook, it is never to endorse what you are sharing, but rather to rail against it. At least, that’s what a Virginia school board chair would like you to believe.
Christie New Craig, chairwoman for the Chesapeake School Board, shared a cartoon that features a cartoon character and the quote, “Muslims hate pork, beer, dogs, bikinis, Jesus, and freedom of speech. My questions is, what the hell do they come to America for?”
The post prompted the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a national Muslim civil rights group, to call for an investigation this week…
“I merely shared it. I did not make a comment, and I’m just shocked with everything going on in our country – police officers are losing their lives, people are homeless and people don’t have jobs – that a political cartoon would cause this much stir,” she told 10 On Your Side. “People have a right to like or not like anything.”
