'Woke' warriors at San Francisco school board deny gay white dad with a mixed-race daughter a place on volunteer parent committee because he is not diverse enough

A gay white father of a mixed-race child has been denied a spot on the San Francisco Board of Education's volunteer parent committee because his race doesn't bring enough diversity to the group.

The issue of whether to allow Seth Brenzel to volunteer for the 15-person parent advisory council was debated for almost two hours on Tuesday night during a board meeting.

The parent advisory council, who had unanimously supported Brenzel to join their all-female committee, had submitted his name to be approved by the school board.

His candidacy, however, faced opposition from some board members and members of the public who argued that there wasn't enough diversity on the council - even though there are five seats currently empty.

Those who opposed his candidacy were concerned with the fact that he is white.

The 15-person council currently only has 10 members: Two black mothers, one Asian-American, three Latinx, one Pacific Islander and three white.

Brenzel, who is the executive director of a music program for children, is openly gay. He lives in San Francisco with his husband and their young daughter.

If approved, Brenzel would have been the only father on the council.

Something about the quality of my little girls character and not the color of her skin, or maybe it is the color of his skin, seems to ring a bell. Obviously, not a PTSA school bell.

I suspect that the “sexist, homophobic, racist” group that voted against the volunteer are just a bunch of deplorables.

He’s trying to get on the parent committee, not chased out of town.

Sounds like a lawsuit to me.......

Dad should inform them he self identifies as a fish and demand fish bowls for restrooms.

Never admit I once considered Steve Dallas as a role model/life coach (carton strip - Bloom County, Outland, starring Opus and Bill the Cat)

"all-female committee"

That, right there, says it all...

"all-female committee"

The only way to be more diverse than "all-female" is to add more women. Maybe Mr. Mom should put on a wig and some stockings.

Of course when I was growing up, the PTA was also all-female. But that was back when moms were moms and didn't pay someone else to raise their kids while they pursued a "more fulfilling" life.
