DALLASTOWN, Pa. – A central Pennsylvan­ia school board member and Republican convention delegate has posted an apology for criticizin­g a church sign that wished “a blessed Ramadan to our Muslim neighbours.” A message posted Monday on the Twitter feed of Spring Grove Area district board member Matthew Jansen said: “I do apologize for venting to the church. I was out of line.” The Rev. Christophe­r Rodkey said the sign outside St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Dallastown was intended to promote tolerance.
