Chicago leaders gathered downtown on Thursday to speak out against Chicago Public Schools' allege discrimination against Black principals.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is taking up the cause, calling out CPS for allegedly targeting Black principals. He was outside CPS Headquarters alongside Father Michael Pfleger, members of Rainbow PUSH, and leaders from the Chicago Principals & Administrators Association.
At question is the ousting of seven Black principals. One of the principals released is Abdul Muhammad, the former principal at Lindblom Math and Science Academy. CPS gave no specifics on why he was fired, only saying an investigation substantiated findings against him. "It is that report, a report that tried hard, that CPS tried hard not to release, that exposes the call of the racist smears, the racist system that smears the fames and persecutes principles for having the audacity to hold the system and anyone in it accountable for serving Black students," said LaRaviere.
