As the first and only Orthodox Jewish member of the state legislature, Schaer wants Gryskiewicz to resign over alleged inflammatory, racist remarks.
“The comments that have repeatedly surfaced online by Ms. Gryskiewicz are wildly inappropriate and complete unbefitting of a member of a public school board or any elected or appointed office holder, for that matter, " Schaer said. “As someone charged with representing the needs of every child in the school system, it is disconcerting to hear her singling out an entire group as unwelcome in this country."
Schaer said the public education system should serve the needs of every child, indiscriminate of race, religion or creed.
“The right thing, and the only thing, for Ms. Gryskiewicz to do is resign immediately,” he said.
