Jeremy Spencer used to work for Georgia’s Department of Education. But after racially charged Facebook posts he made came to light, Better Georgia supporters put pressure on the state superintendent to fire him and it worked.

SNIP

His Facebook was littered with posts that demean Muslims, imply that non-white students are not able to achieve academic success at the same level as white students and poke fun at gays and lesbians.

Spencer also apparently thought it was totally fine when someone responded to an anti-Barack Obama post he shared by posting a picture of a lynching. That comment remained up for months.

SNIP

Jeremy Spencer is not to be confused with his twin brother, Republican state Rep. Jason Spencer, who last year filed a bill that would have effectively banned women from wearing burqas and niqabs while on public property, including roads and parks. Rep. Spencer also threatened a black former colleague in defense of Confederate memorials earlier this year. Clearly, there are some celebrated family values these brothers share.

In light of what you posted I am going to self-delete the thread in this group and the LGBT group.
