Not only a recall, but essentially fired by 70% of the voters. No need for a survey or poll: give kids the best education possible and leave all the other "social justice" at home.

[williamkurzenberger]

I listened twice to this. The idea that "Democrats need to go back on the offensive" tells me that these people are still missing the point.

Finally. People are waking up to the woke trash

[WinstonSmith]

School boards: “If you parents have a problem with our leftist insanity then show up to school board meetings and voice your concerns, and run for school board positions.”
Parents: “Ok, we’re going to start doing that.”
School boards: “Oh, crap. They called our bluff.”

[karmakazi]

Did she say they wanted to rename a school that was named after Abe Lincoln?? Wtf?

[RetireMe]

Just a bunch of activists that got themselves on the school board

[homiedclown]

Lol, if it can happen in the most liberal city in the U.S it can happen anywhere! Parents rule

[Lyn]

I'm a classical liberal Democrat and like Bill Maher said, "I didn't leave the Democrats, the Democrats left me." I get it 100%!!! Bottom line, if the Socialists and Communists don't leave my party, I will! I never signed up to be in a party with Freedom destroyers.

If it were three Republican school board members in San Francisco that would be understandable but to recall, in a landslide vote, three far left Democrats who think just like the voters in far left San Francisco is incredible.

[meltedmarshdaddy]

Man it feels so good being right all along like we always said we would be.

[pbrooks]

Unlike MSNBC, the SF voters dislike CRT.

[afre]

A typical example of elitism with no contact in the grassroots. Did they ask the parents if the school name was important for them. I guess NO. Did they ask the parents what they thought was important for them. I guess no

[gailcarey]

Finally! The US once had the most enviable education in the world. It’s time to end the politics and return to the high standards that our students deserve.

[mikeburke]

Now that they got their schools " all fixed up", maybe they can get the poop off the sidewalks.

[wiikillsu]

Finally people are opening their eyes in SF, it used to look pretty now it looks like a lost city

[Ezero]

This is what happens when you go too woke.

[Rell-euwv]

If you think this is bad just wait until the midterm elections. When Democrat ideology is being rejected in San Fransico you know the party is toast

[t.r.campbell]

This happened in one of our most liberal and progressive cities. Even in San Francisco people as well as parents have had it with draconian political, social and economic controls. Show me the media say that the school district is in financial difficulty but we need to ask the question, what has the board members been doing with all the money they’ve been receiving? Schools have not been open, students have been working from home. The school system has received tons of federal money. What has the school board been doing with it all? Americans are filled up now with COVID-19 being blamed for all of the draconian controls and they are beginning to fight back and Democrats are going to lose.

[gabrieleemccollough]

Get those People out !!!! Good for the

[warpathy]

Even in bluest of blue San Fran they are rejecting blue as the answer. 👍🇺🇸
