Resident criticizes official Facebook Easter message; public commenters urge local control of Caddo‑Bossier Port and praise community programs
Summary
At the Caddo Parish Commission work session, residents urged restraint in official social‑media messaging and defended local control of the Caddo‑Bossier Port. Speakers also praised community programs, including the Rising Star talent initiative and Christian services’ meal distribution.
A Caddo Parish resident told the commission she found an Easter message posted to an account presented as an official parish Facebook page to be insulting to non‑Christian faiths and asked whether parish social‑media policy could be changed or clarified.
Elizabeth Wilbert, who gave her address as 4330 Greenwood Road, said she is a secular humanist and described family and work relationships across multiple faiths. She said the message, posted on what she understood to be a page identifying the poster as a representative of Caddo Parish, felt exclusionary and that such content would be better posted on a personal page rather than an official government account.
