A veteran educator from the Bronx recently claimed she was fired after she denied mimicking a salute to Black power from the 2018 film, Black Panther , during her superintendent meetings. Another veteran also made serious claims and said she was also targeted by Department of Education, Chancellor Richard Carranza. Both of them have sued him.
The Department of Education Chancellor is now stepping down after three controversial years, city officials said in a surprise announcement Friday, February 26, 2021. According to the DoE, his last day will be March 15 â and he will be replaced by current Bronx Executive Superintendent Meisha Ross-Porter. âItâs been an honor of a lifetime to serve as a chancellor and from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve your and my children,â Carranza said at a press briefing with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
