A superintendent in Arizona previously honored by the Obama White House as a "champion of change" became embroiled in political turmoil after Fox News exposed past statements blasting the White race as "problematic."
Arizona state GOP lawmakers called for superintendent Scott Menzel to be immediately fired in a Wednesday letter to the Scottsdale Unified School District board of education.
"[I]f Menzel doesn't have the decency to resign, we are calling on the SUSD board to terminate his employment with cause for the district," Reps. Joseph Chaplik, Alexander Kolodin and Sen. John Kavanaugh said.
