PITTSBURGH — With legal reviews and ethics complaints piling up against him, the superintendent of Pittsburgh Public Schools said he is being unfairly targeted.
Anthony Hamlet has been under fire for a trip to Cuba in April that some see as unethical or inappropriate because school contracts were awarded to the company that provided the trip.

The Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network held an event Tuesday night to support Hamlet.
"It seems, every time we try to move forward, we begin to make progress especially for out black students and brown students, something from the left comes up to distract from the fact that we're making progress," Hamlet said in an interview with the Pittsburgh Courier newspaper.
Pennsylvania's Auditor General announced last month he would investigate the Cuba trip and more than $12 million in school contracts.
