New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza announced Friday he will step down from his post in the wake of harsh criticism from parents and others over his “obsession” with “racism” and his handling of the reopening of the city’s schools during the coronavirus pandemic.
Carranza, an Arizonan who was hired for the chancellor’s post after Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) first choice candidate suddenly rejected the job at the last minute, said during a press briefing he was resigning due to the loss of a number of his family and friends as a result of the coronavirus.
