Did Atlanta, Georgia appoint muslim Mike Alig-Juzfahrted as Atlanta schools superintendent? No, that's not true: the information came from a meme posted by a site set up to troll conservatives. It is not real.
The meme was posted on May 23, 2018 by the Facebook page "America's Last Line Of Defense" with the caption:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
The text on the meme itself read:
Atlanta, Georgia appoints a muslim as Atlanta schools superintendent: Mike AliG-Juzfahrted. Share if you have had enough!
The name Mike Alig-Juzfahrted seems to be made up. Ali G. is a character from Sacha Baron Cohen and "Juzfahrted", well, that stinks.
The man in the picture is actually Mohamed Bakr and it was taken during this event:
Ask a Muslim, close the knowledge gap
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today. In 2010, researchers counted 1.6 billion Muslims around the globe; approximately 23 percent of the world population. There are 3.3 million Muslims in the United States; approximately 1 percent of our population.
The real superintendent of Atlanta public schools is Meria Joel Carstarphen:
Meet the Superintendent / Dr. Meria J. Carstarphen, Superintendent

And of course the 'About' page of the Facebook page that published the meme carries following warnings:
