Chaos in SFUSD - Equity, Wokeness, and Divisive Racial Politics - Passing Period #60

This Week: It’s America in 2022, and while right wing folk are literally threatening to kill kids of school board members across the country, we find ourselves in a media frenzy over the recall of three San Francisco Unified School District Board members. And what’s to blame?  Well, the LA Times, SF Chronicle, NY Times, the Atlantic, and the AP sort of agree. Kinda. Was it the effort to rename dozens of schools named after problematic, and arguably problematic, white folk? Was it the effort to make the legendary Lowell High School, an elite and predominantly Asian American school, a lottery based admissions school so its demographics would be more representative of the city?  Was it the pandemic safety practices that resulted in SFUSD having distance learning longer than most districts?  Was it backlash against an equity and racial justice agenda?  Is it the end of “woke” politics and doom for Dems in the midterms??!?!?!?!
