Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s choice of Mitchell L. Ikenna Johnson to head the Chicago Public Schools is facing heavy criticism and spurring calls for the latter to resign after revelations that he engaged in a long series of antisemitic comments on social media.
“Let me start by apologizing to the Jewish community for the remarks I posted, which were clearly reactive and insensitive,” Mitchell Johnson said. “Since that time, I have asked for and received feedback from my Jewish friends and colleagues who helped me be more thoughtful as I addressed these sensitive matters.”
In one post in December, for instance, Johnson asked, “How can a group of people who have suffered from the Holocaust; today join with the Alt Right Community?”“The Nazi Germans’ ideology has been adopted by the Zionist Jews,” Johnson wrote in February. “The Israeli government offers a renewal of Nazi language once directed toward European Jews, ‘savages, dogs, vermin,'” he wrote in March.
Johnson also insisted that Jews in the U.S. must renounce Israel’s “crimes.” He even claimed that Zionists are “Luciferians.” “ comments have crossed major red lines into overt antisemitism, both in his explicit support for Hamas and his insistence on collectively blaming all Jews for Israel’s military actions,” they said, calling for his resignation. “His continued role on the school board is non-negotiable.”
