Attorney Ben Crump demands investigation into CPS treatment of Black principals

CHICAGO (WLS) -- There is a call for change at CPS and it centers on the treatment of Black principals.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump says he will be demanding an investigation in to CPS schools. He plans to hold an news conference Thursday at CPS headquarters.

Crump will be joined by Father Michael Pfleger and Reverend Jesse Jackson to name a few. They said CPS used substandard investigative tactics with false statements to oust the principals.

One of the cases involves the release of Abdul Muhammad back in March. He was the principal at Lindblom Math and Science Academy.

At the time, CPS would only say he was released due to an investigation that substantiated findings against him but there were no specifics.

CPS had the same response when they released Hyde Park Academy's principal Antonio Ross last spring. CPS refused to comment on personnel matters.

The shake ups sparked some protests in each school community with parents and students demanding more answers.

Crump is also calling for the ousting CPS CEO Pedro Martinez. Crump believes Martínez helped orchestrate what he calls this abuse of Black principals.

“Crump believes Martínez helped orchestrate what he calls this abuse of Black principals.”

When it’s NEVER black folks responsibility it’s very hard to believe.

Do an IQ test and ask each and every principle in CPS to write a single grammatically correct sentence.

Phleger and Jackson together, just what Chicago needs now with a black activist mayor in charge to back them.

Phleger may have been found innocent, but that creepy SOB still sets off my radar as well.

Gov. Bruce Rauner once told some of Chicago’s wealthiest and most influential civic leaders that half of Chicago Public Schools’ teachers “are virtually illiterate” and half of the city’s principals are “incompetent,” according to emails Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration released Thursday under a court order.

When the child molesting charges were filed against him he crawled inside of a hole for a while to ride the storm out, the church investigated and said no charges, so he walked.

He said She said always favors the accused when all you have is accusation and no proof, and Pfleger is too smart to leave proof.

Phlegar, Pflegar, Phlegmgar, it’s all the same. Sounds like something you don’t want to step in.

And he’s definitely a creep. He cares more about getting his mug on television than anything else, I reckon.

I think it was “he said, he said”, not “he said, she said”. Pfleger ain’t exactly a lady’s man.

I was going to write he said, he/she said, but gave him the benefit of the doubt just this once.

The school’s name is a ‘tell’. There is very little of Plato going on there.
