However, I do have to point out that she does not appoint people to the SF school board...
School board members are elected by SF voters...They do not take orders from the mayor of SF...
In New York City, Mayor D does have control over education bureaucrats...It is different in CA cities...
I don't think there is any city mayor in CA who controls education bureaucrats...LA Mayor Garcetti cannot order LA Unified School District to do anything...
According to the article, Mayor Breed expressed her displeasure with school board spending time changing school names...She thought that school board should be busy with reopening schools instead...
She isn't a rabid far-left liberal like others in SF. Breed graduated from my high school, Balboa High in the outer Mission District. She's against the name change. Part of our school fight song is the phrase "B-a-l-b-o-a rah rah, Balboa, Balboa, yay!". Can't picture it as "O-b-a-m-a rah rah, whatever!" or any other liberal name that the stupid board comes up with.
