BREAKING NEWS – Rockville, Maryland – A Democrat Maryland elected official apologized in a statement addressed to the Muslim community days after she blasted their children who spoke against an LGBTQ+ curriculum at a Montgomery County Public Schools board meeting as being aligned with “White supremacists.”

Kristin Mink, a Montgomery County council member and former public school teacher at MCPS, maintained in her apology statement that her Tuesday board of education meeting remarks were “focused on promoting inclusion.”

“[My remarks] created an opportunity for misunderstanding and mischaracterization,” she said. “I apologize for the hurt that I caused in the Muslim community. I forgot that our democratic policy is, the only religious group we can verbally attack, are Christians. Now, if any Christian children said what the Muslims said, I will demand their immediate expulsion from school.”
