Like so many others, I was really peeved at Suzan Hebson and the Township High School District 113 Board of Education for denying the Highland Park High School girls basketball team a chance to compete in tournament held in Arizona. What petty posturing I thought. Until I read this article in the Chicago Tribune which includes the following quote from assistant superintendant Suzan Hebson:
"Since undocumented students may be participating on any of our extracurricular teams, we need to ensure that all of our students can travel safely, especially in the United States."
I am perplexed and my anger is growing. Ms. Hebson's concern evinces her clear understanding that undocumented students is a euphemism for illegal alien!
Why does that understanding not extend to the notion that illegal aliens are at risk no matter where they go in the US precisely because they are, well, ... you know it's coming ... ILLEGAL!
Illinois Township High School District 113 is embracing the notion of and providing sanctuary to illegal aliens and they apparently they don't care who knows.
There are an estimated 20 million illegal aliens in the US which means our politicians have been ignoring this problem for way too long. We need to address the issue now.
In the meantime, if you are like me and inclined to let the Township High School District 113 Board of Education and Ms. Hebson know how you feel, send them an email. Please be polite, but let them know that their decisions have consequences.
