(CNN) The Washington Metro board voted on Thursday to stop showing issue ads throughout its system, just a few days after Texas activist and conservative blogger Pamela Geller requested the system place ads showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
In a brief motion, the board’s chairman Mort Downey, wrote only that the “Board directs management to close WMATA’s advertising space to any and all issue-oriented advertising, including but not limited to political religious and advocacy advertising until the end of the calendar year.”
The board made no mention of Geller or the Mohammed cartoons. But in a statement, Geller accused the Washington Metro board of being “cowards.”
