Kirkland to &#8220;speak the truth&#8221; on Twitter in September after Kirkland issued a fiery endorsement of critical race theory, the idea that American government and economic systems are inherently racist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Critical Race Theory is the audacity to tell the truth in places built on lies,&#8221; Kirkland tweeted. &#8220;This truth will make us free, though there are some who don&#8217;t want us free and are willing to sever a nation to ensure we stay chained.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1451578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-3.39.01-PM.png\" alt width=\"1184\" height=\"460\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Porter&#8217;s time as superintendent was marked by conflict and controversy. Two separate lawsuits accuse her of discriminating against Jewish and white teachers. And Bronx school district official Rafaela Espinal has accused Porter of firing her for not participating in the &#8220;Wakanda Forever&#8221; salute, a gesture from the movie <em>Black Panther<\/em> that Porter frequently used to end meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Espinal said Porter disciplined her for not being &#8220;black enough.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools is currently looking into a $45,000 gala Porter held in honor of her birthday and promotion to superintendent, the<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New York Post<\/span><\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/02\/27\/new-nyc-schools-chancellor-meisha-ross-porter-marginalized-older-white-women-suit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During his time as chancellor, Carranza faced two lawsuits in which four female leaders accused him of pushing them out of their positions because they were white.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carranza and de Blasio banded together three years ago to propose changes to the admissions process for a handful of the city&#8217;s elite academic high schools, which they claimed gave an unfair advantage to white and Asian students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the two leaders clashed over other school desegregation policies, the<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New York Times<\/span><\/em> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported, including over a selective admissions test designed to funnel high-performing elementary school students into advanced classes. Carranza sought to abolish the tests as de Blasio focused on reopening schools for in-person instruction during the coronavirus pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carranza was also friendly to critical race theory. In 2019, the chancellor hosted a &#8220;white supremacy culture&#8221; training session for his school administrators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Porter will take over as chancellor in March, following Carranza&#8217;s official departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8 hide-print\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1526555381173-4\" class=\"mobile-250 desktop-90\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The incoming chancellor of New York City public schools has a history of making controversial statements and recently promoted a tweet that implies America was &#8220;built on lies.&#8221; Mayor Bill &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274505,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-3.39.01-PM.png","fifu_image_alt":"Incoming NYC Schools Chancellor Backs Claim That America Was \u2018Built On Lies\u2019","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-185762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-01-at-3.39.01-PM.png","fifu_image_alt":"Incoming NYC Schools Chancellor Backs Claim That America Was \u2018Built On Lies\u2019","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
