The Harassment of the Hispanics in Chicagoland [View all]

I taught in this community for 31 years.

The vast majority of Hispanics are hard working, warm, loving people who contribute to American society. All they do is sacrifice for their kids to have a better life.

Every year, I ended the year with a Holocaust unit. I told the kids, "If they can take away the rights of one group, they can take away everyone's rights." And here it is happening on the streets of the community where I spent a career I loved.

And to think; this all due to the vanity of one little man who has to hold onto power no matter what the cost is to others. I am heartbroken.

My sign at the October No Kings Rally will be:

"Hey ICE: Even Elderly Nazis were eventually held accountable."

"Sleep lightly tonight!"
