The Backlash Against Leftist Extremism In Schools Is Even Hitting San Francisco

Hoping to preserve school board members’ seats, San Francisco Berniecrats have resorted to misinformation and doxxing ahead of a Feb. 15 vote.

In less than two weeks, San Francisco residents will cast a vote to recall three leftist school board members, Board President Gabriela López, Vice President Faauuga Moliga, and Commissioner Alison Collins. These three have been criticized for several issues, including extended school closures in response to Covid-19, racial bias against Asian Americans, and the board’s zealous pursuit of social justice at the expense of providing quality education to all students.

The loudest supporters of these board members are a group called “San Francisco Berniecrats,” Democrat supporters of socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. The group’s leader is Brandee Marckmann, who campaigned for board members Collins and Lopez. Hoping to preserve the three members’ seats, Berniecrats have resorted to some dirty tactics against the recall campaign and its supporters ahead of the election day on February 15th.

One of the tactics SF Berniecrats is known for is actively spreading misinformation. Marckmann created a spider web meme, which demeans the recall campaign as a deep-pocket, right-wing, anti-racist conspiracy movement. When a parent called Marckmann out in a public forum to explain the spider web meme, below, Marckmann feigned being a victim and refused to answer.



It is laughable to claim the recall as a right-wing conspiracy because San Francisco is one of the farthest left cities in America. The city is where Democrat leaders such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Vice President Kamala Harris, and California’s current governor Gavin Newsom launched their political careers. More than 80 percent of San Francisco residents voted for President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. The Republican Party has little presence and influence here, and the local GOP’s website doesn’t even mention the school board recall election.
