Another example of post-racial America.
One can only imagine Hooks Independent School District board member Chris Harris won't be working for the district much longer after he posted the image above. The image has rightfully garnered a lot of attention, not the kind Mr. Harris was likely hoping for when he posted it.
He's since apologized, but it may be too late:
Harris posted messages saying in part that he realizes what he posted was inappropriate and offended people. He went on to say he's deeply sorry and not a racist.
According to Superintendent Thompson, Harris' future with the school district will be up to the school board members.
"They govern me. That is who I answer to," said Thompson. "They govern each other. It is in their hands."
Even if Harris is genuine in his claim to not be a racist, posting such a thing on social media (or anywhere) shows a serious lack of judgement. The people of Hook, Texas need to ask themselves if this is someone they really want guiding their children's education.
