A police Sergeant and GOP committeeperson suspected of trying to help cover up a bizarre politically-motivated car attack on Chicago’s northwest side is under fire for her homophobic comments made on Facebook this week.

In screenshots taken from the Facebook profile of Sgt Amelia (Ammie) Kessem, she accused a library worker of trying to “indoctrinate” her 6-year old child with gay pride decor—and it’s not the first time she’s accused educators of sinister designs on children.

This incident comes less than a year after she helped spearhead a campaign to get a Chicago Public Schools instructor fired for supporting Black Lives Matter protests.

Robert, one of the CPS teachers targeted, spoke with LCRW under a pseudonym.

Last summer, Kessem used her connections both within the Republican party and the Chicago police force to intimidate Robert. The push for his firing, bolstered directly by Kessem’s social media posts, ended in death threats toward him and his family members sent by police nationwide.
