What has happened to america? You lose your job because you think illegal invaders should be deported????

feb 15 2021 FIRST ON FOX: A Chicago area teacher who was forced to resign from his position over his Facebook post saying "Go ICE" is speaking out about the emotional and financial toll he has suffered as a result.

"This process has been professionally and personally devastating and surreal," former West Chicago teacher James Heidorn told Fox News Digital in his first public comments about the situation.
"I’ve spent 14 years building my career, pouring my heart into teaching kids, building relationships, and being a positive role model. To see it all upended over two simple words, ‘Go ICE’, where I expressed my personal support for law enforcement felt like a severe blow to my career."

In late January, Fox News Digital first reported that the longtime teacher at Gary Elementary school in a heavily Hispanic district was placed on leave after local activists in the community began sharing his Facebook post that said "GO ICE" in response to a news story about a local police department saying they would cooperate with ICE.

"Forced" to resign

The snowflake turned his entire community against himself and has big feelings about it. He is free to continue his career elsewhere.

Time for a lawsuit, I'd say.

Burbank teachers who were fired during Covid are getting a million dollars each.

Sue. Definitely sue.

How dare a teacher respect the rule of law. Oh the shame.

Not at all. If your co-workers and the community you serve refuse to work with you because you FAFO'd then you have to look elsewhere for work.

If a teacher was fired for opposing ice, you would be screaming.

Teachers love illegals since illegals mean more kids in school and thus more demand for teachers.

You Commies are offended by the 1st Amendment.

What about being reinstated at their jobs if they weren't able to get new ones? A million dollars doesn't go as long as a job can.

God bless you and them always!!!

This sounds exactly like a violation of the First Amendment. Punished for speech expressing a political position.

And if you think about it, the political opinion he expressed was supportive of federal law and federal law enforcement.

Clearly, the school system couldn’t tolerate THAT!

/sarcasm.

Where are the unions when you need them? However, I do wish people would quit using the term "invaders". That's really quite inaccurate. I also think that all teachers should quit inserting themselves into politics, both the left and the right. But, I also don't want leftists thinking I'm on their side. No one should come here illegally. No one.

So you’re saying that schools in red states can fire all the liberal teachers for their free speech?

The 1st amendment does not cover a snowflake retiring because his students, their families, and their co-workers hate them.

 

[LeftofLeft]

I thought liberals were all for free speech?

Actually, if he was forced to retire, it does.

ICE is not respecting the rule of law.

I think they offered that as part of the settlement, not sure if anyone took it. The only one I actually know went to New Mexico and got a job there, he's very happy. Got married, wrote a book, I don't think he wants to come back.
