Brizard appointment gets nothing but worse.

What is pretty much NOT the headline Rahmbo wanted to see in the Sun-Times this morning?

Rahm Emanuel defends his schools chief on federal discrimination lawsuits.

Jean Claude Brizard, recently chased out of his job as superintendent in Rochester, has been nothing but an embarrassment since Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel picked him as the new CPS boss.

The latest story:

Brizard was named in two federal lawsuits during his three-year stint as Rochester schools superintendent.

One accused him of firing a deputy “without cause” after making disparaging remarks about her age and about tensions caused by “strong black women.” The other accused Brizard of instituting a policy of sending teachers under investigation to a do-nothing alternative work location branded the “rubber room.”

Last summer, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found probable cause that the 58-year-old deputy had been fired because of her sex, age and race.

This follows up the revelations that Brizard lied about the numbers of improved graduation rates in Rochester, a lie that was repeated by Rahm.

Tick. Tick. Tick.
