CRYSTAL LAKE – A Prairie Ridge High School teacher has been put on paid administrative leave after showing a politically charged video and endorsing Hillary Clinton in his class.

William Walker has been working with the district since 1993 and has been at Prairie Ridge since it opened in 1997. He was outside the school Monday with tape over his mouth and a sign that read “Enjoy the Silence” in protest of his recent removal from the classroom. He said that the administration’s actions resulted from his showing of a 23-minute YouTube video, “Sam Harris Dismantles Donald Trump,” in class.
