Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel is side-stepping a verbal battle with Chicago’s current Mayor.
Current Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, more than once, recently, has criticized Former Mayor *and* Ambassador Rahm Emanuel for touring the country talking about resuming public service.
Mayor Johnson says Emanuel was responsible for “the Shutting of schools, the firing of Black women, and the privatizing of our public education system” which—he says--is why the system has problems today.
Emanuel has refused to respond directly, saying he has not criticized his predecessor and will not say anything about his successors.
He spoke after a ceremony awarding ten thousand dollar scholarships to a dozen Junior ROTC Students in the Chicago Public Schools.
