Radcliff school board candidate under fire for Facebook post

A Radcliff man running for the Hardin County School Board is being criticized after a social media post. An image shared by John Flanagan, a candidate for the Board of Education, began to spread through Facebook earlier this week that many have said promotes a negative stereotype of North Hardin. Flanagan, though, says it was rooted in sarcasm.

Additional posts made by Flanagan on his personal page also sparked criticism. Flanagan is running for division 1, which represents the schools in the North end of the county.
