Former Lindblom Math and Science Academy Principal Abdul Muhammad, center, is flanked by supporters before speaking in a press conference at the Chicago Public Schools Central Office on Thursday, July 6, 2023 in Chicago, Ill. Nine principals have been removed pending discipline or investigations into “serious misconduct” in recent years. Of those, six are Black men. In a report released by Chicago Public Schools, Muhammad is said to have failed to properly report a sexual assault charge that occurred at Lindblom. Muhammad refuted these claims in the press conference.
