Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote for the New York Times about Jill Bloomberg, principal of Park Slope Collegiate in Brooklyn, who was investigated by the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Special Investigations for alleged political organizing:

According to a letter sent to Ms. Bloomberg’s lawyers from the general counsel for the Education Department, Ms. Bloomberg and two unnamed teachers at the school are accused of belonging to the Progressive Labor Party, a Communist organization. They are also accused of recruiting students and inviting them to participate in the party’s activities, including marches.
