A commissioner elected last month in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia, chose to be sworn into office this week placing her hand on a copy of Alex Haley’s “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” rather than the Bible, while lifting her right hand in a fist.

Not all insane liberals live in Ithaca NY. We have a number occupying GA as well.
GA ping!
What could possibly go wrong?
Alex Haley’s “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” is not all that radical as it is not uncommon to find it on a high school reading list.
26 year old, freshly indoctrinated and completely naive.
“The racists have all the money, still, so it’s economically advantageous to cater to them”
I assume the indoctrinated lass means “white people”?
Radical or not, is that something to swear allegiance upon??????
It is only because our society has moved so far to the Left that "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" could be regarded as "not that radical." It's also the reason that the book is shoved down the throats of high school students to begin with, instead of having them read something more worthy (I guess that The Federalist Papers are out, Malcolm X is in).
Ironically, the whites who the Left considers "racist" tend to be working or middle class people (Hillary's deplorables and Obama's bitter clingers), rather than the elite. The elite, i.e. "the ones with all the money," are usually on the same side of the issue as Antifas and other trendy 'anti-racists.'
Actual title:
Georgia Official Refuses Bible, Takes Oath of Office on ‘Autobiography of Malcolm X’
Please don’t alter titles, especially to add comments not found in article.
I would not do it.
Hillary got 65 percent of the vote in Athens, georgia to Trumps 28.
That's a damning indictment of high school reading lists.
what good does it do to swear an oath to anyone but God? Noone else can hold a person actually accountable should they violate that oath- Only God can
What is wrong with you GA? Do you no longer want God’s blessings on your state?
For most, i think it’s optional reading, but may be required in some cases.
Again, it’s Alex Haley’s work.
Pretty mainstream.
The People have spoken. Swear her in.
“Alex Haley’s “The Autobiography of Malcolm X”
Why would a book written by someone else be considered an autobiography?
.
Remember the name. It will be in the news as the perpetrator of fraud, theft or embezzlement.
“That’s a damning indictment of high school reading lists.”
It’s been there for decades, on the same lists as To Kill a Mockingbird, In Cold Blood, The Great Gatsby, 1984, Catch 22 and Animal Farm.
