A Texas school board member apologized after posting an image of a member of the Ku Klux Klan with the caption "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" to his Facebook page, television station KTAL reported on Monday.

Chris Harris, a board member for the Hooks Independent School District in the town of Hooks, posted two apologies to Facebook after posting the offensive image. After removing the offending post, he maintained in both apologies that he was not "a racist."

1. Fire him immediately

6. can you fire school board members?

You would think if he had any scruples he would resign so he would no longer infect his school district with his name
So I doubt he will resign either

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

7. Probably not...

[TexasProgresive]

13. He might be forced to resign because he apologized.

I'm sure that his consistency was happy with his post.

19. But did he prey ..., er pray?

Got to pray or the apology is no good.

8. He's elected not hired

Can't be fired have to do a recall.

9. I know that, but the human being in me wants to say something else and I have to say

the peaceful thing

2. I'd love to ask "so what WAS your intention, if not offense?"

I'm starting to believe that these idiots think "racist" means something completely different.

3. "I'm not racist"

I just post images of racists on my Facebook page. I predict another resignation...good.

4. I wondered about that...

I wondered about that.

I read DI sometimes, and the first thing out of every conservative's mouth is often "Don't call me racist, BUT..." followed by some racist shit. I wonder if they've repeated this so much that they really have brainwashed themselves to not see the racist crap they're actually spewing.

Like this TX twerp. "I'm not racist, I just post racist images on my Facebook page!" Is it a question of a complete and utter lack of self awareness?

Lack of self awareness + lack of any sense of empathy = Recipe for a modern conservative

11. obviously

he did not think it would be problem among his facebook friends. racists don't seem to grasp the facebook is public forum. then again: they are not too smart.

14. Went to.....

a statewide leadership conference one time. The speaker, a retired school leader, had a very significant "motto" that he wanted all of us to remember. This was related to anytime someone wanted to "share" concerns with you - perhaps gripes, complaints, or whatever.

So, considering that the person has a concern that must be shared, this motto (that I SO often go back to!) was:

"Remember, anything before the "BUT" is BULLSHIT!"

Really - go back and think about ALL the times you've heard the "BUT!"

Just sayin'...........................

5. Where in the heck is Hooks, Tx

(Although not being from here, I've never studied Texas history or geography).

He would be gone in our school district...before Christmas.

12. So far in north east Texas that it could be in Arkansas.

Hooks is a city in Bowie County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,769 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Texarkana, Texas - Texarkana, Arkansas Metropolitan Statistical Area.

15. Learn something new every day. :)

Thanks!

I've never been anywhere in East Texas north of I-10. Well, not exactly....but you probably know what I mean.

[TexasProgresive]

18. I try to avoid East Texas. It's full of piney wackos!

21. It's also the home of Heisman trophy winner Billy Sims

Saw him play in high school.

[Dont call me Shirley]

10. Really, he thought posting blatantly kkk photo was a joke. Joke is on Chris Harris now.

You deserve to be fired from the school board. You and all your fake Christianity. You are a racist Chris, not a Christian, you can't be both.

[cheyanne]

16. Any one know what his great emotional trauma was?

He claims that was the reason he posted it. Some joke.

17. Someone got a parking spot he wanted?

Or got the last box of Lipids at Mal*Wart?

20. I wonder what church he attends? An all white one???
