KQED education reporter asked San Francisco Bd of Ed
President Gabriela López about the role race played in the recall.
Gabriela López inanely said: “ Obviously that’s an important question, and I’m not going to say that we’re not noticing that this is a recall against people of color, and it’s against people who have also been doing a lot of work to support those communities across our city who are often not in these spaces. So, I do believe if it wasn’t someone with my background, my experience, my understanding or cultural understandings, I don’t think I would be getting as much pushback as I am now.”
“People might disagree, but I think a lot of the issues that we’re facing have to do with who’s in a position of power right now, who isn’t usually.........”
Huh? Come again?
“So, I do believe if it wasn’t someone with my background, my experience, my understanding or cultural understandings, I don’t think I would be getting as much pushback as I am now.”
In other words, “I’m special, you stupid peasants.”
“Huh? Come again?”
He’s saying that he was fired because he went too far to the Left.
Sour Grapes, nothing more.
San Francisco is full of wealthy people who can’t send their children to the local school - literally - they’re assigned according to race.
I have immediate family in the city - one of the kids turned school aged and was sent to a school across town in a horrible area - they live across the street from an elementary school and the kid wasn’t allowed to attend.
Private school immediately - most who live there can well afford it.
