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 youve 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.

She will enjoy a comfortable retirement.
Orwell was a political prophet.
What was she actually fired for? The article doesn’t say.
If it WAS for her private views, she should own the town.
She is going to OWN that district.
HS ping.
She can make good money teaching community “learning pods” for families that that are pooling their resources to provide an education for their children. Sounds as if she would be a good choice!
They also fire anyone who “likes” such a posting, or who doesn’t post something condemning it.
The KGB would have loved facebook.
WHile she certainly has the right to say what she wants, it is a bridge too far to say white privilege is the same as being called a n_gger. Privilege exists and certainly parts of it have to do with skin color. Few white people benefit from it. Being called a n-word is a sub-human, clearly not the same.
I wonder if the 5 who voted to terminate are related to her, she should get a nice check.
Schoolboard members are subject to voters. Vote them out; take back the schools.
“Reality is that Socialist dont care to play by the same rules the rest of us do.”
Of course they have to play by the rules of realty. Bust them in the mouth, they fall down. That’s reality.
Time to terminate the employment of these Stalinazi school board members.
By firing her they proved she does not have white privilege.
I had always thought 1984 was work of fiction, I had no idea the left was using it as an instruction manual.
I’m comfortable with violence. Might not be the greatest at it, but I don’t shy from it either.
Problem is... I’m in a serious minority on “our” side.
“Problem is... Im in a serious minority on our side.”
There’s more of you than you know. Lots more. Welcome to the party.
Actually exactly the same.
To be told that you would not have anything except for the color of your skin is to reduce you to subhuman status.
Reality is that Socialist dont care to play by the same rules the rest of us do.
Playing chess with a pidgin.
