Chicago, Illinois - On February 5, the West Chicago School District 33 board announced during their meeting that a Gary Elementary School male teacher who posted "Go ICE" using his personal account in a social media post has resigned and that the full board accepted his resignation after being placed on leave. The teacher was identified in social media as James Alan Heidron.
According to school sources, Alan had initially submitted his resignation last month when it was discovered that he posted "Go ICE" igniting an uproar of complaints from students, parents and residents in the area.
Flyers about Alan's "Go ICE" social media post were circulated in the community.
Alan then decided to take back his resignation, but later on decided to resubmit his resignation, which the school board confirmed that it was accepted.
