Thousands of San Francisco residents are banning together to stop the city from renaming 44 schools that honor so-called “racist” historical leaders — including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, critics told the Post.
More than 7,200 people have signed an online petition slamming the school board’s controversial vote to scrap the names of former US presidents and war heroes with ties to racism or oppression.
The goal is to drum up enough public criticism to convince board members not to strip away the names during an April 19 meeting — where they plan to decide how specifically to rename the schools, said Lope Yap Jr, vice president of San Francisco’s George Washington high school alumni association.

That’s rather stunning.
F*** Frisco.....oh.....you too Nanzi.
In the neo-Marxist constitution people have the right to not be offended, and “offended” could mean anything. I’m offended that Pelosi is still in office. Can we please remove the offending creature?
“banning” together?
Forsooth, in ye olden days of yore, t’would be called “banding” together!
They should Ice-cream and Feather Nancy ,LOL
“Thousands of San Francisco residents are banning together to stop the city from renaming 44 schools...”
Wow, is there actually an idea that is too stupid for San Franciscans?
What?
You mean SF does still appreciate a Founding Father and the
Great Emancipator?
Sure didn’t see that coming.
The school boards and city and county need to be focusing ALL their attention on getting the schools reopened, not renaming them. The students are not even THERE at the schools! Who cares what they are named. They are empty and silent and devoid of life. The students are sadly all at home alone on their computers, cut off from all human contact.
Priorities.
There are still some normal people left in that porta potty?
7,200? That’s not even one illegal vote by mail ballot dump.
I’m in northern Virginia and offended by all the renamed social justice high schools. This was our heritage growing up here and my parents and grandparents in these schools. Now all being renamed/ reinvented and every week my kids have a sporting event against another woke newly named school which we are trying to figure out which school that is/ was....it’s so twisted.
Tampa (Hillsborough County School) did a name change Robert E. Lee Elementary was changed to Tampa Heights, when it reopened this month. A few years ago, the school had a fire that was caused by a hurricane, they were discussing renaming it before the hurricane. Funny, the school was first opened as Michigan Avenue School.
