AJC Chicago Urges New School Board President to Resign After Year

Amidst rising concerns, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Chicago is taking a firm stand by demanding the resignation of Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson from the Chicago Public School Board. After a series of deeply troubling anti-Semitic statements, Johnson's position has become untenable for fostering a safe and inclusive educational environment. It's crucial that we address this issue head-on to ensure that all children, particularly those from Jewish families, can trust in a discrimination-free schooling experience. Join us in advocating for accountability and integrity within our educational systems to protect and uphold the values of respect and diversity.
