    Yeah. Cannot fault Lisa Wayright for this one after I read the reasons for the 70-30 vote to remove these fools.

    It’s not being Woke but it is being extremely stupid and arrogantly authoritarian. If only we could get these types on the left to be locked in the same room with the insurrectionists and anti-vaxxers. Then the rest of us one SD to the left and right of the bell curve’s center could start getting things done for the country.

    BTW Lisa, when you were working on this one were you having a celebratory drink from your Josh Hawley Tiny Hands Mug for Tiny Hands?

    Now can we start clearing out some of the too far right who keep being supported by the right.

    Leave it to Lisa. In an election marked by unusually high turnout among Asian-American voters, where the most heavily rejected candidate was called out for her history of offensive anti-Asian tweets, where a principal issue was the Vincent’s efforts to reduce Asian-American representation in elite programs, where the incumbents were criticized for disproportionately appointing white women to boards and commissions, where white mothers make up an unusually low share of the electorate, Lisa Benson declares the victory belongs to . . . white women like herself.

    Again it shows that some hold their own to account. I wonder when the RWers will do the same?

    ‘Woke’, as it is currently being used, is a useless word used by folks who have a limited vocabulary.

    All this shows is that people want to get things done. The principle sin of the Board Members who were kicked out was that instead of making sure the children of SF were back in school during a pandemic, they were more interested in changing the names of schools. Republicans should take note. If your only policy is to make liberals cry, sooner or later your voters are going to wonder when you’re going to get things taken care of.

    That was the seed of the recall in San Francisco, where two parents launched the effort in January 2021 after the school board kept schools closed. San Francisco public schools took longer to reopen than most in the country, and almost all of the district’s 50,000 students stayed in distance learning until the fall.

    Meanwhile, the school board spent its time on what many critics called misplaced priorities, including a months-long effort to rename 44 schools instead of focusing on reopening them.

    Parents and other residents of San Francisco, one of the most liberal cities in America, do not dispute the need to reexamine the historical figures schools are named for, but the effort was criticized for poor research, historical inaccuracies and bad timing. It became one of several examples critics cited of the board putting progressive politics over the needs of children.

    The political tracking website Ballotpedia identified 96 school districts in more than a dozen states where race in education and masks were part of the debate in 2021.

    Many see that as a prelude for this November’s midterm elections, pointing to the example of San Francisco, a famously tolerant city that lost its patience when progressive politics took priority over pandemic needs.BY JOCELYN GECKERASSOCIATED PRESS

    This proves that the socialist agenda, adopted by Biden (thanks to Bernie Sanders running the show) is a failure. AOC etc better take notice.

    The other board members would have been removed as well, except board members must be allowed a minimum amount of time as a board member before they can be recalled.
