San Francisco to remove Washington, Lincoln and Feinstein from school names...

"The names of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and other prominent figures including California Senator Dianne Feinstein will be removed from 44 San Francisco public schools, a move that stirred debate Wednesday on whether the famously liberal city has taken the national reckoning on America's racist past too far.

In addition to Mr. Washington and Thomas Jefferson — former presidents who owned slaves — the list includes naturalist John Muir, Spanish priest Junipero Serra, American Revolution patriot Paul Revere and Francis Scott Key, composer of the "Star Spangled Banner."'

If you’re so inclined, this article is by a progressive bi-lingual San Francisco weekly publication that calls this decision a debacle and historic travesty.

What I find most interesting is there is actually a backlash among progressives in SF over this. Was kind of shocked to see. The biggest thing is we're in the middle of COVID, schools have been closed for close to a year and not expected to open soon and this is what the school board is worried about. You combine that with a huge discrepancy in reading and math proficiency numbers between black and white students along with the data that poorer kids are falling further behind the longer they are out of the classroom and it's no bueno. Not to mention we're already a City with, on a percentage basis, a very small number of families compared to other big cities and this is making more families consider leaving the City or going to private school.

But somehow changing the names of schools is going to be the impetus to reverse all this? As we're seeing, many people aren't buying it.

How can the city get rid of the ppl making these decisions & spending this kinda money during a pandemic

Just as in 1854 when Lincoln saw all of the existing factions as broken, he would be nauseated by Trump, Never Trump, and the Dems.

That doesn't leave much, does it?

In so far as there is a new party in the US today, it’s the TrumplicanParty. Many of its supporters swallow every foolishness and every falsehood that Trump says; others are scared to oppose him. A few speak the truth, but they are on the way out.

America needs a responsible conservative party for the system to work. As of now it doesn’t have one.

These are elected officials so the people are getting what they voted for. (The reality is I don’t think people pay a whole lot of attention when they vote however. I mean, they may be informed on who’s running for President, Congress, Mayor and the various city/state propositions but school board not as much. If you’re a 28 year old single kid it’s understandable you may not spend a lot of time to study the school board candidates.)

Of course, he would. He freed the slaves and rightys recaptured them and treated them worse. He would not approve of violence on those who were deliberately disenfranchised in America.

The irony of his claim that Lincoln would be a Democrat today is he's having his name removed from the school for being a supporter of white supremacy and genocide. Is that what he thinks Democrats stand for?

Oh course it is. Robert Byrd was a life long democrat and grand dickhead of the kkk. The democrats are the party of slavery.
