Lamar Elementary School: In an online video, Pastor Carl Young said he wanted the public school to become financially dependent on his church.to operate from Lamar Elementary School inside the Mahncke Park neighborhood, campus officials said.
Many expressed anger online after video surfaced of Young saying he was"planting" his church in the north-of-downtown neighborhood because its progressive political views — which he likened to a"mini-Austin" — were anti-gospel. “After concerns surfaced, Superintendent [Jaime] Aquino and campus leadership began a productive conversation with Pastor Carl Young. He expressed respect for the Lamar Elementary School community, and regret, because it was not his intention to cause the school or district harm. We are pleased to be working on a solution that works for everyone involved and does not involve a campus-based site. At the end of the day, we all want what is best for the community.
"Where we're wanting to plant there [in Mahncke Park], there is more of a hostility towards the gospel," Young says in the clip, which was uploaded in February."Do I want to bring my kids to that, and see some of that? I think God's calling us to do that."
