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.

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?
Regardless of what they were or weren't, without them we wouldn't be living in a country now where a big problem to a school board is what to rename schools.
Doesn't matter what you think of America's pioneers and founders you can't forget we wouldn't have America without them. We wouldn't be living in a free country right now if it weren't for them.
And you can't forget hundreds of years ago and backwards slavery and such was common practice for almost the whole world because that's what it took back then to build societies. They didn't have bulldozers, excavators, cranes, electricity and so on. And most people in the world would were dumb and unskilled. It took harsh measures to build societies. It doesn't make it any better, but that's how the world ran and we wouldn't be where we are now if it weren't for the people who were hard enough to make it happen.
Every skin color has been a slave in the world at some point in time. Hell thousands and thousands of Chinese were abused to make the railways that connected our country but no one cares about them.
Now thanks to what this countries founders did we have a country where slavery isn't needed anymore.
Go live in Afghanistan or Iraq and tell me if you think it's better than America.
