I never thought that Democrats were capable of embarrassment.

Many Americans were appalled last month when members of the San Francisco Board of Education voted to change the names of 44 city schools named after individuals who’d supposedly been linked to oppression.

According to The New Yorker, Abraham Lincoln High School had to be renamed because of the former president’s policies toward Native Americans and George Washington High School because he’d been a slaveowner. Even an elementary school named after Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein had to go because, during her tenure as San Francisco’s mayor in the 1980s, she made the decision to “replace a Confederate flag that was part of a Civic Center display and had been taken down by a protester,” the outlet reported.

Please note, "TheFederalistPapers.org" is not the venerable https://thefederalist.com . "TheFederalistPapers.org" is a clickbait site, and in typical clickbait site fashion, the point of the article is buried deep. So in interest of saving TBR members time, here's the "money quote":

Democratic strategist Brian Brokaw told Politico about “Republican friends good-naturedly jabbing him as the developments became a running joke on the political scene.”

“We’ve become parodies of ourselves,’’ Brokaw said. “It’s counterproductive in so many ways.”

That's it, no significant commentary about it in the very verbose article.
