Here’s a good summary of the SF school board recall. Granted, it’s from Mother Jones, but it gets to the main points/reasons for the recall without being politically partisan. Basically, the recall came down to incompetence:

School renaming rather than focus on kids would do it.mickeyrat said:tempo_n_groove said:https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/16/politics/san-francisco-school-board-members-recall-election/index.html
This might not be the perfect place for this but not sure where else to put it.
Could San Francisco really head back into Rep hands? The people have had enough it seems about everything and just want to vote opposite?
I don't think we have anyone here in the AMT that lives in Frisco do we?
Nah. It seems to me this is parents pissed other things seemed to be a priority than their kids. It should be seen as quite the gauntlet being thrown to put the focus where it belongs as #1 and the rest as can be fit in.
The article touched on actually voting Republican though? That is a huge flip for that area.
California is the one place where the voters are recalling officials. You hear that about this more than anywhere else.
I dont see where it touched on voting gop, rather that it would be hailed by gop circles......
The successful effort in one of the country's most liberal cities is likely to embolden Republicans who have channeled parental anger over school reopenings and mask mandates into a powerful wedge issue, including last fall in Virginia. For Democrats, especially those making decisions in blue states, the vote highlighted internal divisions over how to handle the pandemic as cases decline but the threat of another surge looms.

It appears that people aren't sure what to be offended by and if removing them which shows actual history, would do more harm.

It may well be because my relationship to San Francisco goes back 7 decades, but I honestly do cringe when I hear "Frisco". There has been a long standing (but maybe weakening these days?) loyalty by those of us with long-time connections to San Francisco to such a degree that calling it "Frisco" was seen as being nearly as derogatory as using a racial slur for a person of color. We have a connection with the city the way someone might connect with a loved one. Those days are waning some as the city transforms and I really do miss my home city of old. Sadly, all things must pass.

I wonder how much of that was from that silly SF/LA rivalry? In baseball, well, that was inevitable. But in the music scene, there were strong ties. The Bay Area gave birth to The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Southern California brought us The Doors, The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield. We loved them all!

https://www.sfexaminer.com/opinion/dont-whitewash-history/as usual here, it took a detour with the frisco business, which you also participated in.so much of this idea of woke seems rooted in emotional reactionism.For sure, many things need addressed. It would help if there was consensus on how that occurs.understanding where a thing comes from and its motivation should be taken into account.the above is a well written argument to that end._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________
