Plano City Council has called a special meeting for noon Sunday to discuss the future of a council member who came under fire this week for his anti-Islam post on Facebook.
Councilman Tom Harrison, who represents Place 7, apologized Wednesday night for sharing the video. Hours earlier, Mayor Harry LaRosiliere called for Harrison’s resignation at a press conference. LaRosiliere said the 73-year-old council member is unfit to serve based on his actions — actions that don’t represent the greater Plano community.
Harrison shared the video on his Facebook page Tuesday night. It shows images of students wearing hijabs in classrooms and says: “Share if you think Trump should ban Islam in American schools.” It comes from a Facebook group called, “Joined Hands Across America For Trump.”
