Lamar CISD board member’s ‘concerning’ post prompts district to issue pro-LGBTQ+ statement
The Lamar Consolidated ISD school board president responded to incendiary comments made by a trustee on Facebook.
Board member Jon Welch promoted same-sex couples at the start of June, which is widely recognized as “Pride Month,” a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. “I celebrate all the boyfriend-girlfriend relationships and male-female marriages throughout the world this month,” Welch wrote on his Facebook page Thursday morning. “You're often lost in the noise of our culture. But Natural Law and undiluted Truth still call to us all. And I celebrate it here.”The post as of Saturday morning garnered nearly 900 comments, most of which condemned Welch’s sentiments.
Lamar CISD board president Mandi Bronsell Friday evening issued a statement on behalf of the district, distancing the board from “a member of our school board” who “made some recent remarks on social media that have sparked concern.” She did not name Welch. “I want to be clear that the spirit and intent of the message do not reflect the collective view of the Lamar CISD board of trustees,” she writes. “Words matter, and they should be used to encourage us in humility and service to all our families and students.“In Lamar CISD, we firmly believe that every student, staff member and family within our community deserves to be valued, respected and included,” the statement says.
