Teacher Fired for Denying White Privilege

Don't you dare deny the Left!

Illinois high school teacher fired for Facebook post rejecting idea of "white privilege”

From the article:

Jeanne Hedgepeth, a Palatine High School, Illinois, social studies teacher, has been fired over one of her social media posts after the Township High School District 211 board members voted 5-2 to terminate her employment.

"I am about facts, truth-seeking and love,” Hedgepeth wrote in the Facebook post that led to her termination. "I will speak on any topic I choose because I live in a free country. I find the term ‘white privilege’ as racist as the ‘N’ word. You have not walked in my shoes either so do not make assumptions about me and my so called privilege. You think America is racist? Then you’ve been hoodwinked by the white liberal establishment and race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Travel the world and go see that every nation has racism and some more than others but few make efforts such as we do to mitigate or eliminate it.”

She also recommended the work of economist Thomas Sowell, political commentator and activist Candace Owens, and author and radio host Larry Elder.

Additionally, Hedgepeth argued that there is a "deeper problem than racism.” She finished by recommending that the black community should stop believing "Democrats, mainstream media and intellectuals in ivory towers.”

Oh the humanity!

She might have been fired from any position, but a school teacher is not permitted to walk away from the Progressive Penitentiary of the Mind. Never. We cannot have people teaching children anything but the Leftist narrative.

This reminds me of Mel Brooks' "History of the World" where King Louis sentenced the man to the Bastille for saying "eh, the poor ain't so bad".  As Louis said "he's lucky he didn't get the Guillotine!"

This country is so toast...
