There have been a number of lists that demonstrate the new and aggressive cancel culture is being trained at just as many people on the political left as the political right. One of the strangest episodes is a Chicago high school principal who is for now holding her ground.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Joyce Kenner has been the principal of Whitney Young High School for the last five years. In 2020 it was listed number 77 on US News & World Report’s list of the top 100 high schools in the country. According to the ranking:

Young Magnet High School is ranked fourth within Illinois. Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement® coursework and exams. The AP® participation rate at Young Magnet High School is 89%. The total minority enrollment is 72%, and 40% of students are economically disadvantaged. Young Magnet High School is 1 of 169 high schools in the Chicago Public Schools.

Kenner has been at the school for 25 years and served as assistant principal prior to taking the helm. Before joining the school, she worked for the education arm of Reverend Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition. She is also African American.

According to the Tribune’s report, more than 800 people have signed a petition for Kenner to resign.

The Jacobins have struck again.

What's really sad about this is the Principal was the one who had to tell the kids not to loot and not the parents of those kids.
