“The people and businesses of San Francisco have worked very hard, have sacrificed, to keep our Covid levels low, and our schools have been closed entirely throughout,” Patrick Wolff, one of the parents who started the Campaign for Better San Francisco Public Schools, said. “So just think of the harm that’s being done.”

Wolff and others said the school board is prioritizing social justice issues, such as renaming 44 schools it deems unacceptable while ignoring how children are suffering being isolated at home and separated from classmates and teachers.

“They seem more focused—in my estimation, anyway—on symbols of equity rather than actual equity, which would mean getting schools open for all the children in San Francisco,” Jennifer Sey, another parent working on the recall efforts, said.

“Parent Siva Raj and his partner, Autumn Looijen, said they filed the paperwork to initiate the recall of Ms. López, as well as Vice President Alison Collins and Commissioner Faauuga Moliga,” the Chronicle reported and added that those three are the only board members in office long enough to be eligible to be recalled.

You know you are in trouble if you are an official in San Francisco and people with names like Siva and Autumn want to can you.

There is substantial reality underlying the stereotype that East and South Asians value education highly. WRT the other parent, for all her hippie-ish sounding name, she is likely to be some sort of professional - engineer, medical, trades - because SF's cost of housing makes things difficult for less well paid people.

Probably an AA hire. There may have been a shortage of airheads when she applied,and a pulse was good enough.
