I have been shocked and disappointed to learn over the last few weeks that a colleague I am fond of personally has engaged in behavior towards muslims that is unacceptable. While Senator Gillibrand is entitled to have the Ethics Committee conclude its review, I believe it would be better for our country if she sent a clear message that any kind of mistreatment of muslims in our society isn’t acceptable by stepping aside to let someone else serve.
