CHICAGO (AP) — The president of the Chicago school board resigned Thursday
just a week after he was appointed because of social media posts deemed antisemitic, anti-women and lending credence to a conspiracy theory about
the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Rev. Mitchell Johnson’s resignation came at the request of Mayor
Brandon Johnson.

“Rev. Mitchell Johnson’s statements were not only hurtful but deeply disturbing,” the mayor said in a statement. “I want to be clear:
antisemitic, misogynistic, and conspiratorial statements are
unacceptable.”

Mitchell Johnson was appointed president just a week ago. He was among
seven board members tabbed earlier this month by Brandon Johnson after
former members of board managing the nation’s third-largest school
district resigned en masse.

Media reports have turned up social media posts by Mitchell Johnson that
showed him agreeing that the 9/11 terror attacks on New York and elsewhere
were an “inside job.”

Forty of the city’s 50 alderpersons called on him to step down after a
post following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel that appeared to defend
Hamas and added, “My Jewish colleagues appear drunk with the Israeli power
and will live to see their payment.” Yet another post appeared to
denigrate working women.

The mayor’s statement came just hours after Gov. J.B. Pritzker demanded Mitchell Johnson’s ouster. Pritzker this week had criticized the vetting process the mayor used in selecting the board president.

“Any person charged with the stewardship of the Chicago Public School
Board must exemplify focused, inclusive, and steady leadership,” Pritzker
said in a statement. “The views expressed in the current chair’s posts — antisemitism, misogyny, fringe conspiracy theories — very clearly do not
meet that standard.”

The former board, chosen by the mayor just months after he took office in
2023, quit rather than join a struggle the mayor has had with schools CEO
Pedro Martinez over issues including how to close budget gaps. Martinez
was appointed by Brandon Johnson’s predecessor, and Martinez has refused
to resign.
