The president of the Chicago school board resigned Thursday just a week after he was appointed because of social media posts deemed anti-Semitic, 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.”
