A Connecticut prison guard has been placed on administrative leave after a Muslim civil rights group called for his termination. At issue is an anti-Muslim meme that Officer Anthony Marlak allegedly posted on his Facebook page in 2019. The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, called for the officer to be fired on Monday. CAIR independently found that the Department of Corrections had looked into Marlak’s social media but kept him on the job.The DOC said Wednesday that Marlak will remain on leave pending the outcome of its investigation.
