The Alberta Teachers’ Association is calling for a Red Deer Catholic school trustee to resign or face sanction after a “hateful post” on social media.
Last week, a story shared online from a social media account belonging to Monique LaGrange included an old black-and-white photo of smiling children leaning out a window waving Nazi flags with the swastikas on them.
A more modern photo directly beneath it shows young children in a classroom holding up homemade Pride rainbow flags.
The caption reads: “Brainwashing is brainwashing.”
The post was later deleted.
On Wednesday, ATA president Jason Schilling released a statement.
“Too much time has passed since this hateful post by Trustee LaGrange surfaced, and we still do not have any public statement from the trustee. LaGrange’s inaction leaves us to conclude that the trustee has no understanding of, or remorse for, the harm she has caused,” he wrote.
