On Thursday, outrage over the San Francisco School Board’s Tuesday decision to rename 44 schools in the district over ‘racist’ namesakes grew to new levels.

However, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) has doubled down on the decision, with board president Gabriela Lopez confirming the changes would still be happening despite the massive amount of backlash. “This is an opportunity for our students to learn about the history of our school’s names, including the potential new ones,” explained Lopez in a statement on Wednesday. “This resolution came to the school board in the wake of the attacks in Charlottesville, and we are working alongside the rest of the country to dismantle symbols of racism and white supremacy culture.”


This from someone living in San Francisco where blacks have been basically run out of town and now only make up 5% of the population

“This resolution came to the school board in the wake of the attacks in Charlottesville,”

We need a new rule. Godwin’s indicates any thread will devolve into bringing up Hitler. We need a similar rule for Charlottesville. Bring up Charlottesville and your argument automatically loses all merit. And for crying out loud, get over the “racism” cudgel. They will beat you with it until you do.

Educational policies in SF are insane.

My daughter’s husband’s niece lives across the street from an elementary school in SF. When she became of school age, she was assigned a school way across town in a crime-ridden, Section 8 area. She was not allowed to attend the school across the street from her home.

Fortunately, the family is wealthy and were able to switch to a private school. They are all big libs and defend London Breed even when I point out her hypocrisy.

They were burning mad about the school issue. But will they vote for the same school board and London Breed when she comes up for re-election?

YES and YES

In other news, San Francisco has just opened bidding for construction of a new reeducation camp with an initial capacity of 10,000 inmates.

There are also very few children, and many of those go to private schools.

The Elites love to troll us and get us all upset and distract us from their illegal and immoral activities. I am glad we are beginning to fight back

Hopefully this ‘family’ will STAY in SF & NOT contaminate another city or state.

12 posts so far and no indication whatsoever about exactly WHAT the name of the school is that might be problematic for snowflakes.

One of the first things an invading army does is to destroy all the statues and monuments.
