NEW YORK (Reuters) - A northern New Jersey board of education member accused of Facebook posts urging Muslims to "stay in your desserts" is refusing to step down despite a growing list of educators and lawmakers calling for her resignation.
Gladys Gryskiewicz remained listed as a trustee of the Elmwood Park Board of Education on its website on Wednesday despite an uproar over reports of a series of messages on her personal Facebook account.
Posts earlier this year urged Muslims to "stay in your desserts [sic] and follow your religion in your own countries," as well as "Go back to your own country; America needs to get rid of people like you," according to a statement from the New Jersey chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
Gryskiewicz's lawyer, Evan Goldman, was quoted in The Record of Bergen County newspaper as confirming that his client wrote the online comments and saying she would not resign.

Americans are not white or Christian. Many Muslims are All-American born and raised. Some people can't handle that basic truth.
My favorite Middle Eastern dessert (especially pistachio halvah). Mercy!
