They should also toss out all the materials and supplies as they are made in China as they might have connections to Uyghur slave labor.

Maybe the school board should focus on providing a good education, especially during this time of distance learning...instead of focusing on renaming the schools. Who are you to judge who's worthy?

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984

Stuff like this is the reason so many people are leaving california. Instead of focusing on improving quality of education during covid they decide to spend their time and money on doing stuff like this thinking it's gonna make people happier and make up for the wrongdoings in our history.

How absurdly feebleminded are these board members? If the board has time to worry about school names, I am concerned whether they are fit for leading the future of our students. Im petitioning to have all these people fired already. Waste of tax dollars.

As a liberal myself, this is freaking stupid. If Washington, Lincoln, Grant, etc aren’t “worthy” of having things named after them because, they weren’t perfect I guess. The NO historical figure will be.

Many graduates have spoken out that they will continue to use their schools CORRECT names. The only way to right this wrong is to vote the entire city and school leaders out.

But they still take a day off on Presidents day honoring, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. Guess when it comes to time off it doesn't matter.

If you are a white american, and still don't get what this Is about, you are not paying attention.

Voters should require that the cost of this be paid for out of the fat $200K salaries of the school board members..

Just another reason to leave Kalifornia.

How about naming a school MLK Whoa wait a minute, what about all those extra martial affairs oh well, let's be selective in our bigotry.

Forget secession. We should throw these San Francisco bums out of our country !

Idiocrasy at its finest. What a bunch of lunatics. Shame on them.

[rafeone]

There are larger problems. Get over it.

“Lowell school being renamed because his anti slavery rhetoric wavered in later years” really? Even as a liberal is all seems like a waste of time and effort.
