At least 44 schools in San Francisco could see their names changed, as officials believe some were named after those with potential connections to slavery, genocide and colonization, according to a report on Thursday.
The San Francisco School Names Advisory Committee researched school names and identified certain ones for renaming. Some Principals and parents questioned the wisdom of devoting energy on this issue when so many children continue to take remote lessons.
Jonathan Alloy, whose children attend one of the schools on the list, criticized the timing. He said kids are already forced to conduct distance learning, which negatively impacts minorities more so than their peers, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
“Principals are devoting resources to this," he said. “We’re not actually helping disadvantaged children by changing the name of the school they can’t attend."
Some of the schools listed under the proposed name changes included Abraham Lincoln High School, George Washington High School, Roosevelt Middle School, and Jefferson Elementary.
According to the paper, certain criteria by the committee included: "Anyone directly involved in the colonization of people, those connected to any human rights or environmental abuses, slave owners or participants in enslavement, and known racists and/or white supremacists and/or espoused racist beliefs."

What do you expect from the land of fruits and nuts?. You wonder what they are teaching the kids in school.
SAD.
What a bunch of POSERS!
watch them change them to Mao High, Stalin High, Khmer Rouge Middle School, Black Panther Elementary. Patty Heart Elementary, home of the Symbionese Liberation Army Marching Band...
Marxism run amok
Oh no, it just hit me. I went to Washington High, I am so embarrassed. Should I send my diploma back or remain offended. I think I’ll keep it, it was a different time and world. It was okay at the time. Lol
Just number them all and be done with it, twits.
de-legitimize it all and deem it all racist, then they can do the same to the Constitution. It will be said, It was written by slave owning racists. Which it has also been established that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's families were both slave owners. Biden's mother's maiden name was Robinette.
I agree with the numbers. Then they can fight over 69!
That’s ok for the whole west coast is full of a bunch of wackos anyway
Nothing of importance here.
Name them all after Spongebob and be done with it.
More California residents voted for Trump then the total votes in Canada.
So stupid, way back when, when I was in school I attended Liberty, Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson. Never did hurt my feelings or academics. Bunch of snowflake nuts nowadays have nothing better to do than go after names of schools and tear down statues.
Take away Democrats race card and they have nothing else
They justify all their Communist atrocities by hiding behind racism
This would explain why you troll
I'm glad that I live 2,000 miles away from there!
Do all these children who happen to have these same names have to remove themselves from the earth? It would appear that the country of california is getting ready to secede😊😊 it cannot happen too soon. if it goes away then we can let DC in without changing the US Flag
What takes you on here too?
Why you troll? What the heck are you commenting about? If contributing, how about thinking before posting 8:48? I went to Washington also and was taught if you can’t say something nice, don’t say it. I don’t also abide by that though is why I’m thinking you are a bit odd or strange.
Change all them MFRS!!
