Chicago police sergeant Ammie Kessem spoke out on 'Fox & Friends Weekend' after the department confirmed it is investigating her after she announced her support for a TPUSA chapter at a local high school.
"I'm absolutely baffled by it," Kessem said."I was doing my job as the 41st Ward Republican committeeman, supporting my constituents, but more importantly, supporting my daughter in her endeavors."
Kessem, whose daughter attends William Howard Taft High School, reiterated the need to expose children to various ideologies in the classroom. "I got this scathing email from the principal saying that they were disturbed to learn that an organization, they didn't name the organization… did not adhere to the values or the mission of CPS, which again, I'm completely baffled by because it absolutely does adhere to the mission," Kessem explained.
"In a city where Liberal Progressives have continually and unjustifiably attacked the characters of conservatives, including myself and my children, by calling us ‘Nazis’, ‘White Supremacists' and outright ‘racists,' I am certain these students realize that this will almost certainly be scrutinized by the administration at this school which seems to embrace the Marxist views of a substantial amount of the Chicago Teacher’s union members," she wrote.
A spokesperson from the Chicago Police Department confirmed to Fox News that Kessem is under investigation, although Kessem claims she was not made aware of the probe and only shared her views in her personal capacity.
