Mayor Johnson – who had nothing worthwhile to say when a Jewish man was targeted in a shooting this past Shabbos – initially stood by the embattled board president, citing Johnson�s remorse and commitment to making amends. However, pressure escalated after Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and a large majority of Chicago�s council members publicly called for Johnson�s removal.
The social media posts in question, reported by Jewish Insider, were made in the wake of Hamas�s October 7 attack and during the subsequent conflict in Gaza. In one post, Johnson wrote, �People have an absolute right to attack their oppressors by any means necessary.� Another post read, �My Jewish colleagues appear drunk with the Israeli power and will live to see their payment.�
Johnson had only been sworn in last week, with Mayor Johnson appointing him to lead the Chicago Board of Education.

How and why is a piece of trash like this guy involved in higher-up positions in education and politics? Obviously because Chicago is severely broken. Wokely broken.
�past social media posts�? the posts in question were all in the past year, since oct 7, not 20 years ago. which shows how little vetting was done before appointing him to a fat, publicly-funded paycheque.
