The Keller ISD board trustee facing a backlash after writing an anti-Muslim post on Facebook has apologized — but it isn’t the first time she’s made such comments.

Jo Lynn Haussmann was posting about the recent City Council election in Southlake. The now-deleted Facebook post read, “Do you realize because SO FEW voters took the time and responsibility to VOTE in the municipal elections – YOU NOW HAVE A ‘MUSLIM’ on the City Council!!! What A SHAME!!!!”

Haussmann has since posted an apologetic note on Facebook, retracting her previous statement.

But this isn’t the first time she’s made anti-Muslim comments. Almost a year ago, before she was on the board, she commented on a political Youtube video where she once again attacked Muslims and their stance on abortion and same sex marriage.

One of her comments read, “If Muslims aren’t for it, then why is Obama and all of his muslim followers supporting it? Why is HE not decapitated!?!”

The Keller ISD School Board of Trustees is holding a special meeting Monday to address the anti-Muslim comments made by the new trustee. The board released a statement that said they were, “disheartened and highly offended” by Haussmann’s words.

“We want our community to know that this behavior by a board member is unacceptable, and that it will be addressed,” said Board President Jim Stitt.

The Keller ISD meeting will occur Monday at 6:30 p.m. at the KISD Education Center.

So what happened at the meeting?

These are the very people that are accusing the Obama administration of not being cooperative. And some - inconceivable as it may seem - actually take them seriously.

Jo Lynn - seriously, where to they get these names!? - and her ilk are dangerous. They would not balk at the opportunity of taking away our freedoms.

Until it's muslms she has to deal with. Then it's a problem. How do you think they feel living in that town with someone on the council that views them in that light?

What someone may not like them...OH my we need to sweep in and send them all to re-education... I mean sensitivity training

So what if she does not like them.. They may not like her, but they were elected so she better deal with it.

If some random Joe said this, I could care less. When folks in position of power do it, it's an issue. Because you're in the position to discriminate. That's why that police dude who called Obama the N word lost his job, it's why Sterling is in the hot water he's in. Bundy escaped because he's not in that position.

Why should muslims get any different treatment than christians, or atheists? Your city council members don't all agree with your beliefs; should they be removed from office? I assure you that an atheist person in a position of authority, as you put it, will never agree with nor understand a muslim or christian POV. Whether or not they publicly speak out against the various religions, their decisions and MO will be that of a non-believer, and counter to a religious person's desires.

Is she Jewish?

[JohnR! 5,495]

Is she Jewish?

Not with as much ignorance in her mind she can't possibly be jewish. My bet is that is belongs to one of those 2nd-class pseudo-christian denominations.

Oh no. Anonymous user is on the loose.

Prob true regards your remark however I have met some pretty dumb UESiders in my time...

I am not following her comment here.. If I read that right she is attacking Muslims for being anti-abortion and anti-gay-marriage and attacking Obama for the opposite view... in the same sentence.. I think.
