Sanders Statement on Principal LaRaviere

April 21, 2016
Contact: Michael Briggs (802) 233-8653

READING, Pa. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday released the following statement after Chicago Principal Troy LaRaviere was “removed” from his post at Blaine Elementary School by the Chicago Board of Education:

“It is absolutely unacceptable that a school principal is facing politically-motivated retaliation because he dared to stand up to the mayor of Chicago. Principal LaRaviere, who won three straight principal merit awards handed out by the mayor, is getting results for the students at Blaine Elementary. The only explanation for his removal appears to be Mayor Emanuel’s unhealthy obsession with taking revenge.

“If we are going to build an economy that works for all, we cannot sit back and watch as workers face retaliation from bosses. I condemn Principal LaRaviere’s reassignment and call on Democrats around the country to stand up against Mayor Emanuel’s pettiness.”
