Board member makes anti Buddhist Muslim slur at meeting
Columbia. A South Carolina state Board of Education member Henry Jordan used the phrase Screw the Buddhists and Kill the Muslims while discussing displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools. The remark was recorded on tape and later expunged from the minutes. Jordan later apologized, saying he was venting frustration and that Christianity should be taught. State officials dissociated from the comment and Buddhist leaders called him arrogant.
