“MPCC” … A Cancel Culture Subgroup ?


This is America, “land of the free, home of the brave,” or so I had thought. The First Amendment, which includes freedom of speech, is a right that we all have … correct? The USA is not an autocratic country … right?  Err, correct … except apparently in Mount Prospect, Illinois. (FYI: Mount Prospect is a suburban town of about 50,000, northwest of Chicago. It is in Cook County, and close to O’Hare Field.) It seems that in this small town you have to be very, very careful of what you say, and to whom you say it to. If you happen to say something that a certain group in Mount Prospect doesn’t like … be careful, be very careful as cancel culture zealots live there, and you could loose your job, etc. 

So what’s new? Cancel culture zealots are everywhere. Why single out Mount Prospect?  Well, it appears that in Mount Prospect, these cancel culture zealots are possibly liars … Imagine that! A new subgroup of cancel culture (CC) that from now on perhaps we could just refer to as Mount Prospect cancel culture (MPCC). Before we further malign Mount Prospect, Illinois, let’s review what happened to Lisa Schaps, a police officer in Mount Prospect.

Officer Lisa Schaps — who has served the department for almost 15 years and was the school resource officer(SRO) at Prospect High School — addressed the village board June 15 regarding concerns about local officers’ Thin Blue Line shoulder patch, according to Journal & Topics, an outlet that covers Chicago’s northwest suburbs.

Schaps said the Thin Blue Line — which many on the left say carries racist meanings — “was never about hate. It was never about oppression,” the outlet said.

“We are good people. We are here to serve and protect, and I think that if you judge us on the actions of a few bad officers or groups that have taken our flag and used that, it is no different than judging somebody on the color of their skin on their religion or on their sexual preferences,” she added, according to Journal & Topics.

Then Schaps appeared on “Fox & Friends” last week to make her case to a national audience about the Thin Blue Line shoulder patch.

“It’s about honor. It’s about pride. It’s about kinship,” she said during that segment. “You know, I even said ‘love.’ I’ve got children. I’ve got family … it’s all of those things, and it’s just really important to us.”

Well, of course, the MPCC was not going to stand for that! Imagine someone was voicing an opinion in the “Land of the free.” How dare that woman say something that MPCC didn’t like! Enough is enough!

Well, things apparently came to a head for the school — and Schaps literally was called to the principal’s office for a meeting, according to Mount Prospect Police Chief John Koziol, who told Fox News Thursday that he attended the meeting with Schaps.

The principal explained he and the district had received complaints. Complaints from whom ? No answer !!!!

As Koziol told the cable news network that the principal said, “We’re past all that; we want a new SRO. We want Lisa gone.”

So some of you may ask, “What’s  the big deal? Just another example of CC in all of its splendor!” 

Dave Berry, interim communications supervisor of Township High School District 214, told the cable news network that “we did recommend the consideration of having a different officer assigned to this school in order for our focus to remain on our students.”

Berry added to Fox News that “the school does not have the authority to fire or dismiss a school resource officer, so any assertion that the school terminated the school resource officer is not correct or accurate.”

So who had Officer Schaps removed from her SRO position?

The Chief of Police, John Kozial went on Fox News to state that he was blindsided. The difference here in Mount Prosoect is that no one has the balls to admit that he/she/they caved to CC. Was it the village board, the school board, the school principal, or someone else???? As a result we now have ‘MPCC’ – a group of cancel culture chickens, who apparently lack the gene for “honesty,” and in addition will not admit that they also lack the gene for “fortitude.”

For those who live in Mount Prospect there may be a silver lining to this … At least you do not have to worry about there being any testosterone in your water.
