Ann Arbor Council Against Hate Crime

By

At its Oct. 18, 2010 meeting, the Ann Arbor city council approved a resolution offering its support for an Oct. 12, 2010 resolution passed by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission, which condemned the conduct of assistant attorney general Andrew Shirvell. Shirvell wrote blog posts targeting Chris Armstrong, who is an openly gay University of Michigan student leader. The Ann Arbor city council’s resolution also calls upon the state legislature to pass a proposed comprehensive hate crime and school anti-bullying law currently before the state Senate.
