A Catholic school board trustee in Red Deer could face dismissal from her role after public backlash from a social media post that likened LGBTQ pride to Nazi Germany.
Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools issued a news release on Wednesday confirming it had held a special board meeting on Tuesday regarding LaGrange’s post on Instagram.
Salm said the social media post was “unbecoming of an ACSTA director” and “has the potential to undermine the charitable learning environment offered by Alberta’s Catholic school system.”
Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides told CBC in a written statement that the board has “full authority and autonomy” to disqualify a sitting trustee.
In its news release, the school board said the division is built on a foundation of providing "quality inclusive education, diversity, trustworthiness, and a commitment to the well-being of our students.
“Not only does it serve to undermine the atrocities of the Nazi regime, but it also acts as a form of oppression to entice further hatred toward members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community,” ATA president Jason Schilling said in a statement.
