Three woke San Francisco school board members who invested more time on social justice issues - like the botched renaming of 44 schools - instead of reopening them during the pandemic have been ousted in a rare recall election funded largely in part by Silicon Valley billionaires and millionaires.
In a hot-button recall election, 70% of parents in the liberal city voted to recall the board members on Tuesday, according to the San Francisco Department of Elections.
The school board has seven members, all Democrats, but only three were eligible to be recalled: school board President Gabriela López, Vice President Faauuga Moliga and Commissioner Alison Collins.
San Francisco voters approved the recall of embattled school board President Gabriela López, Vice President Faauuga Moliga and Commissioner Alison Collins, all Democrats.

Comment:
Some of these people were slave holders, some are Spanish explorers and Spanish settlers who are being called "colonizers".
It is unclear why they want to replace some people's names.
But there is one thing that they have in common, it's race.
The thing is that these people are mostly products of their time.
Is it legitimate to replace school names, or is this just more Progressive racial hatred?
