The majority of San Franciscans who voted in Tuesday's special election were in support of recalling three San Francisco school board members, with 79% voting to oust Alison Collins, 75% saying yes to recalling Gabriela López and 72% opting to remove Faauuga Moliga, according to tallies by the San Francisco Department of Elections.

But who will replace them??????
Let’s hope this is a foreshadowing of November elections.
Yes, we’re they not woke enough?
Amazing how voting turns out without massive fraud...
Faauuga them and good riddance.
From the article:
“In a city with the lowest percentage of children of all major American cities, school board elections in San Francisco have often been an afterthought.”
Also, it sounds like they are counting the votes and people can still vote at drop boxes.
Obviously, ultraleftists will be replaced with ultraleftists, and this will continue to be the case, with the supermajority of U.S. cities.
Having read a few articles, it appears the parents were peaved off the board members were more interested in progressive pet project of re-naming schools with “divisive names” (Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson) and watering down the few excellent schools with merit requirements to let anyone in, rather than actually focus on improving the lower performing schools, getting kids back into classes, improving math, science, and reading skill scores.
I know, craziness.
Mayor gets to choose.
Anyhow it ends the campaign to change the names of 44 schools in San Francisco including:
Abraham Lincoln High School
Alamo Elementary School
Paul Revere Elementary School
Robert Louis Stevenson Elemtary School
even Diane Feinstein Elementary School
definately Cancel Culture
No, too woke, if you can believe that in SF. Their abortive plan to rename 40 schools for PC reasons was one of the focuses of the campaign. Another was their refusal to name a gay single father to an advisory board because he’s white and therefore not diverse enough
Can I assume they were not liberal enough?
Problem is replacements will be named by leftist mayor of SF
Make the phrase "Endorsed by the teacher's union" the kiss of death.
Eggs act lee.
That’s a scary question to think about. I guess we’ll find out soon enough, because if the national Dems start changing their tunes on left-wing issues we’ll know internal polling isn’t in their favor.
I’ve found school board elections to be an afterthought almost everywhere. Maybe that will now change.
Hopefully a harbinger of things to come for all school board elections everywhere!
Hardly. Young Whoopi London Breed gets to appoint the replacements, until a special election, and yes the fillers can run.
Again, where’s the headline about the terrorists who launched the recall?
