A man running for a Fort Bend ISD trustee position is accused of posting insensitive comments and memes on social media. Some parents within the school district voiced their concerns Tuesday.
Anna Lykoudis-Zafaris has children that attend school in Fort Bend County. She said she grew concerned about one of three candidates running for the Position 7 seat on the school board after observing several Facebook and Twitter posts.She said she found some of David Hamilton’s social media posts racist, divisive, and extreme for someone wanting to represent one of the most diverse school districts in the state.
Lykoudis-Zafaris shared screenshots of tweets she called inflammatory, along with what appears to be Hamilton’s apology to parents in a Facebook group saying he got carried away with posting the offensive word and that he has a child with autism.“I have a concern with the hyper-partisan politics,” said Piper Lindeen, a parent with two children in FBISD.
“When kids aren’t able to talk about their families who may be same-sex marriages, that’s not sexualizing kindergartners,” Lindeen said. “That’s talking about their life. Other kids get to do that.” “Mr. Hamilton’s comments have been racially incentive towards African Americans, Hispanics and Asians,” said State Rep. Ron Reynolds of District 27, who has children in the district. “He had denigrated students that are LGBTQ, he’s denigrated Democrats and the Biden Administration.”Rep. Reynolds, who represents Missouri City, has been the subject of some of Hamilton’s tweets regarding Reynolds serving jail time for illegally soliciting clients in 2018 while working as an attorney.
