Mark Hill, a conservative lawyer who served on the local school board, won a divisive mayoral runoff on Saturday in Frisco, Texas, that turned into a referendum on the city’s diversity and a testing ground for the power of anti-Muslim messaging.

That’s what’s killing this country, apathy.
No luck with NYT.
Subscribe - or, research else where.
