A few weeks after voting to remove a poster with the words "Hate Has No Home Here," a Little Miami school board member has resigned for social media posts he's now apologizing for.In a resignation letter obtained by WCPO 9 News through a public records request, Dan Smith said the attention some of his social media posts have attracted has "created a situation that risks distracting from the important work of the district."While the letter does not say what his posts were, Smith said some of the posts he made were "wrong, inaccurate and written without the care and thought that someone serving in public office should exercise.""I regret the offense and concern they have caused," Smith said in the letter. "I reject antisemitism and hatred in all forms, and I take responsibility for the impact my words have had."The Warren County school district has been mired in controversy since a vote on a teacher's poster that appears to reference the LGBTQ+ pride flag and transgender pride flag. During that meeting, Smith spoke about his religious beliefs and how it impacted his vote."Christians are lovers. We love people. Jesus loved people," Smith said at the Feb. 25 meeting. "But I'll tell you what he didn't love. He didn't love sin."Watch: A controversial school board vote to remove an anti-hate poster has parents wondering if a lawsuit will follow School board votes to remove 'Hate Has No Home Here' posterOn March 3, another school board member called for the board president's removal at a heated special meeting where they drafted a statement clarifying why the board had to pass a motion removing the poster.Smith was elected to the board last fall.A district spokesman declined to comment on the resignation, but shared a statement from the school board:The Little Miami Board of Education has received and accepted the resignation of Board Member Dan Smith, effective immediately.
