Chicago Public Schools Called Out For Discrimination
Since the Chicago Public Schools fired the Black principals, the state is calling out the Chicago Public Schools for discrimation. According to the Block Club Chicago, the fired Black principals gathered in front of Chicago Public Schools headquarters to address the issue.
Advocates and coalition of lawyers joined them, led by Civil Rights Attorney Benjamin Crump. He is urging Chicago Public Schools to apologize and reinstate the fired Black principals immediately.
“If it happens once, it’s an incident. It happens twice, it’s a coincidence. But when it happens, three times, four times, five times, six times, seven times it is a pattern and practice of discrimination against Black principals,” Crump said, as quoted by the CNN.
