Illinois district needs to oust crossdressing assistant principal, Higgins says

An education watchdog says the Orland Park, Illinois school board should dismiss a crossdressing educator who it hired to be an assistant principal for one of its junior high schools.

Laurie Higgins of Breakthrough Ideas also reports the district has been steeped in a scandal involving the sexual harassment of the former assistant principal who sued and won her sexual discrimination case against the district.

“Apparently there's been a vendetta against her by some in leadership, so they reassigned her to the classroom then hired this guy, Tremaine Harris, who doesn't have the minimum qualifications for the position."

Harris replaced Heather Conrad, who filed her lawsuit in 2017. It was settled in 2019, and, as part of the agreement, Conrad was named assistant principal at Century Junior High.

What they knew about Harris before they hired him is uncertain. But Higgins says some of the leftist administrators and board members helped him hide his sordid lifestyle.

"Hopefully, parents are going to show up en masse at the next school board meeting, which I believe is August 11th, and demand that his offer be rescinded. This is just shocking that he was offered a $90,000 position, any position in the classroom. He shouldn't be in the classroom either."

Not surprisingly, Higgins says she's been told by a contact that school administrators are "eager" to defend their hiring decision.
