A win for @50thWardChicago and other alders who took a stand against antisemitism and hate. As for @ChicagosMayor, the Jewish community and many others will remember your inaction during the next election. #hatespeech #antisemitism
UPDATE: Chicago Board of Education President Rev. Mitchell Johnson has resigned from his post only seven days into his tenure, after he came under intense criticism over troubling social media posts. audacy.com/wbbm780/news/loca…

Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson has posted dozens of antisemitic and anti-Israel messages on Facebook since Oct. 7. This month, Chicago Major Brandon Johnson elevated him to a high-profile local position.

It is deeply concerning that sitting CPS Board President, Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson, has expressed antisemitic sentiments. Again, the City Council was not given the opportunity to engage with any of the appointees before they took their official positions. The Board President should resign.

The newly appointed president of the Chicago Board of Education:
Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson has a lengthy history of posting inflammatory antisemitic, anti-Israel and pro-Hamas content on social media.
Is anyone surprised by this?

We welcome the joint statement from Chicago City Council members calling for the resignation of newly appointed @ChiPubSchools Board President Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson over his past antisemitic statements.
“It is deeply troubling...that after a year of dangerous and offensive antisemitic social media posts and statements, Rev. Johnson was appointed as President of the Chicago Public School Board in the first place,” said AJC Chicago Director @SarahvanLoon.
We join their call on @ChicagosMayor Brandon Johnson to correct this mistake for the safety of Jewish students and families.

Statement on CPS Board President Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson on Antisemitic, Pro-Hamas Language
"Make no mistake: Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson is now the #1 target for Chicago Democrats for Education in the 2026 school board elections. We will hold him accountable for his dangerous rhetoric and the threats it poses to the safety and integrity of our Chicago's public schools."

Since Hamas’ attack last year, Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson has used Facebook to share dozens of posts praising the terrorist group, justifying the Oct. 7 attacks and slandering Jews who support Israel.

Thank you, @50thWardChicago for standing up to hate. Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson must resign. Our kids look up to Chicago Board of Education. This virulent anti-Semite should not have a leadership position. Shame on you, @ChicagosMayor. #chicago #education #Antisemitism

The Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson, Chicago’s new Board of Education president, apologized to Jewish communities Wednesday and said he would protect all students after he faced criticism for his social media posts about the war in Gaza. trib.al/qXbXxjJ
Thank you for taking a stand, @50thWardChicago. Now it’s @ChicagosMayor’s turn.
Over the last year, newly-appointed Chicago Public School Board President Rev. Mitchell Ikenna Johnson has made deeply offensive and antisemitic comments, calling into doubt his ability to fairly represent Jewish students and families in Chicago Public Schools.
In response, I and many of my colleagues on the Chicago City Council, are calling for him to apologize and immediately step down from his position.
