San Fran school board abandons plan to blacklist Lincoln & Washington
Beating the blacklist: In response to an enormous outcry of outrage from parents and citizens, the San Francisco school board that in January had voted to rename 44 schools named after many traditional American historical figures, including Lincoln and Washington, has now abandoned that effort.
The San Francisco school board has halted its effort to rename 44 schools named after George Washington and other Americans board members concluded held “racist” or other beliefs of which they disapproved. “I acknowledge and take responsibility that mistakes were made in the renaming process,” Gabriela Lopez, president of the San Francisco Unified School District board, said Sunday.
Lopez said school district officials will instead focus on re-opening classroom for in-person learning and called the months-long controversy about the re-naming school “one of the many distracting debates.”
Don’t be fooled. These politicians have not changed their mind about America and its history. They still think it evil and want to blacklist it. They will now simply move to do so in a more quiet and unobtrusive way.
What really needs to happen is for San Francisco citizens to wake up and vote these anti-American bigots out of power. Sadly I am doubtful this will happen. Once the fervor dies down the public will go back to the sheeplike state of somnolence that it has been living in for now more than three-quarters of a century, and these thugs will go about their business of transforming America from a free nation of educated citizens to a socialist state of ignorant slaves.

The Non-Sentience of the Left:
“Lopez . . . called the months-long controversy about the re-naming school “one of the many distracting debates.”
And the subject was broached by?

From the article: “mistakes were made in the renaming process”
Lopez did not say that renaming the schools was a mistake, just that there were mistakes made during the process. The biggest mistake was letting the public know about it. Perhaps after they change the process, they will be able to finalize the renaming of the schools.
When we let government be in charge, we get what government wants. When we are in charge, we get what we want.
Fine by me, just like Coke a Cola wanting to be Less White…. fine, I will take my White Greenbacks and drop them down on something other than Coke’s 500 brands…. One of the few times Wikipedia’$ lists has come in handy!!!
