NY Jail Chaplain Charged For Distributing Anti-Muslim Tracts

A Rockland County, New York jail chaplain, suspended with pay last month pending an investigation of complaints that she distributed anti-Muslim literature (see prior posting) has now been charged administratively with eight counts of misconduct. Rev. Teresa Darden Clapp's suspension was also changed to one without pay. Yesterday's Lower Hudson Valley Journal News says that after listening to concerns of the local Muslim community, jail officials said they would hire an imam as a Muslim chaplain, and would begin to serve Muslim prisoners Halal food.
