"This started with a two-word comment on my personal Facebook page supporting law enforcement—nothing more," former West Chicago teacher James Heidorn said. "It wasn’t directed at any student, family or school community. Second, I was placed on leave and faced intense pressure before any full investigation or fair process could play out, with this it led to my resignation. Third, I lost my career, my income and the chance to close out my time with my students properly—no farewell, no goodbyes."

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Audio and summary
Completely wrong on the school’s part. Wait till you see the midterm election results and what happens to the republican candidates who support ICE.
It’s a sad day in America when someone is penalized for supporting the enforcement of American laws. Illinois Senator Durbin voted for establishing ICE. Wonder if the principal of that school is aware of that. ICE is Law!
The principal is too stupid and infected with TDS to understand or appreciate the responsibility they have to the students.
Still dismayed that an American citizen voicing his opinion in a non- threatening manner can be kicked to the curb. What a disgusting world we now live in, courtesy of “ free speech “ Democrats.
The war on free speech by today’s left is real and it extend through Europe. JD Vance and Marco Rubio have been spot on in their Munich speeches, warning that it’s a threat to Western civilization.
Pathetic. After the disgusting behavior by teachers after Charlie Kirks murder (that giant woman with her finger to her neck comes to mind) and many of them not losing their jobs, this over the top reaction from the district says volumes about the party of inclusion and peace. Public Education is doomed, failing on every level and should be shut down. It is simply a day-care, food service and transportation tax payer funded mess.
I’m still trying to get my head around the idea that their are people who care enough about following and monitoring what anyone, they may or not even know, says on a social media platform. Nice to know West Chicago has it’s share of complete psychopathic losers.
And the CPS teacher who on VIDEO MIMICS CHARLIE KIRK BEING SHOT IN THE NECK IS STILL EMPLOYED . Shows the DOUBLE STANDARD !!
I would’ve sued the shit out of them on violation of free speech. And I am sure some lawyer would do the case pro Bono because once he won he would be a much hired attorney
Absolutely, I’d love to hear the response from the judge about the school firing a teacher supporting the law on his own time. MANY MILLIONS the destroyed his reputation and ability to ever get another job teaching.
Totally unfair!
P. S. – Why did he resign a second time, instead of fighting for his job?
P. P. S. – If you are not a Democrat/socialist/communist, don’t use Go Fund Me. They might cancel your fundraiser and steal your money. Use Give Send Go instead!
GSG is run by a very radical Islamist. They use a puppet executive team to look Christian but their profits are not going to Christians. Just fyi.
I call BS. Prove me wrong.
