Who cancels Lincoln? A feces capital San Francisco school board official shows the idiocy

It’s hard to know where to begin in describing the insanity of San 
Francisco’s purging of names from its public schools.

On its face, the removal of names like George Washington and Abraham 
Lincoln from our houses of learning is dangerous and absurd. It is the 
bottom of a slippery iconoclastic slope that progressives assured us we 
would never arrive at. But to fully understand how awful these choices 
are, we have to look at the process by which they were reached. What is 
revealed is little short of a confederacy of dunces leading the efforts to 
educate children.

A New Yorker interview with Gabriela Lopez, who at age 30 is the head of 
the San Francisco Board of Education, provides some telling insight on the 
making of this foul educational sausage.

For example, you might think that in deciding what historical figures 
schools are named for, you’d want to talk to, you know, historians. But 
that is why you aren’t on the board. Instead of historians, Lopez said, 
they relied on “a diverse set of community members, people with a set of 
experiences that contribute to these discussions, people from different 
backgrounds who are also educated in their own rights.”

If you have no idea what that means, you are not alone.

Lopez went on to say that by removing the names, they were “… really just 
sharing in our schools what is and isn’t uplifted.” This is nothing more 
than newspeak gobbledygook that has absolutely nothing to do with 
educating children. And the board readily admits that it is using no 
standard in making these decisions. Dianne Feinstein is having her school 
renamed because she flew a Confederate flag while mayor in 1984, but 
another mayor who did the same has not had his school changed. There are 
no rules here, just woke whims.

When the reporter pointed out that some of their reasoning was based on 
incorrect facts (Paul Revere, for instance, was not involved in the 
colonization of Native American lands), Lopez’s response was childish: “I 
think what you’re pointing to and what I keep hearing is you’re trying to 
undermine the work that has been done through this process. And I’m moving 
away from the idea that it was haphazard.”

As if this ahistorical insanity was not enough, the utterly pointless name 
changing is happening when San Francisco has no plan to even reopen the 
schools. Instead of focusing on getting kids in school, they are worried 
about the name above the door.

Perhaps the most important lesson to take from all this madness in 
California is the importance of local elections and institutions such as 
school boards. While far too many sane people can’t be bothered to think 
about their local school boards, they become peopled with wackos whose 
views are wildly out of step with most of the public. Those who would 
erase American history are winning way too many fights these days.

So pay attention to your school boards, go to a meeting; find out who is 
running things and what they are up to. Don’t let them take away our 
children’s history in their vain attempt at a utopian tomorrow. Because 
make no mistake, if you let them, they will.
