Plano City Councilman Apologizes For Anti-Islam Post After Mayor Calls For Resignation

A Plano City Council member has apologized for sharing a video on Facebook that he says “wrongfully implied I am anti-Muslim.”

Council member Tom Harrison, who represents Place 7, received backlash after posting the video 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.”

Harrison was unreachable by media and city colleagues for comment Wednesday. He posted this statement on Facebook around 6:30 p.m.
