Teacher: Fox River Grove school ousted me for vegan literature
Distributing materials brings rebuke from school district
FOX RIVER GROVE – A Fox River Grove Middle School art teacher said he was ousted from the classroom Wednesday for teaching students about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle and the dangers of eating meat.
Dave Warwak, 44, said District 3 Superintendent Jacqueline Krause and Middle School Principal Tim Mahaffy told him that he was being insubordinate and needed to leave after he refused Wednesday to stop sharing his viewpoints about animal cruelty and veganism in the classroom.
“When you’re talking about teaching art and leaving out the animals, I can’t do that,” said Warwak, a vegan who referred to Krause and Mahaffy as “ardent meat-eaters.”
“It’s impossible,” he said of not sharing his viewpoint. “It’s something they’re asking me to do, and I just can’t.”
Krause said Wednesday that Warwak still was employed with the district, but declined to comment further because the issue involved personnel.
“This is a matter that’s currently between the employee and the district, and I have no further comment,” she said.
Warwak, who became a vegan in January, said he encouraged students to do Internet research about animal cruelty in raising livestock and how hormone manipulation and other factory-farming practices could negatively affect human health.
