Convicted Felon Hired as School Principal

What if a convicted felon was the principal of your child’s school? This isn’t a rhetorical question for parents in the Chicago area – it’s reality. Parents at the Mildred I. Lavizzo School found out their children’s principal is Arnold Bickham, a former abortionist, convicted for defrauding government funds to cover his abortion mill payroll. He’s also responsible for the deaths of at least two women. Bickham has been sued by patients multiple times for botched abortions. Now he’s responsible for the daily care and education of many school-aged children. This news isn’t a surprise to the school district. A spokesperson said they hired him fully aware of his previous conviction and past. I guess to be refused a job, an applicant must be a professing Christian.
