The San Francisco Board of Education is abandoning its plan to rename
schools named after historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and George
Washington until students and teachers are able to return to the
classroom, board Commissioner Gabriela Lopez said on Sunday night.
"I also acknowledge and take responsibility for mistakes made in the
building renaming process. We need to slow down and provide more
opportunities for community input – that cannot happen until AFTER our
schools are back in person," Lopez wrote on Twitter.
San Francisco's education leaders faced backlash for focusing on renaming
schools amid the coronavirus pandemic. Lopez's announcement came days
after parents began circulating a petition to recall Lopez, Vice President
Alison Collins and Commissioner Faauuga Moliga for politicizing education,
the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

MOCKERY OF PARENTS
"We are parents, not politicians, and intend to stay that way," organizer
Siva Raj told the San Francisco Chronicle. "We are determined to ensure
San Francisco’s public schools provide a quality education for every kid
in the city."
They hope to get 70,000 signatures in order to get a recall on the ballot.
"As I talk to parents, I have heard how hard it is to worry about your
child shutting down and their struggle to stay motivated in distance
learning," Lopez said in a statement. "We're in negotiations to get the
work on returning to in-person learning done and I'm committed to working
with city partners to get vaccinations, testing and other resources we
need."
Lopez said she was "deeply grateful" for the "anti-racist" work of the
naming committee.
"School renaming ... was a process begun in 2018 with a timeline that
didn't anticipate a pandemic," she said in a statement.
California governor hopeful Kevin Faulconer called the school board's
decision a "huge victory."
"The San Francisco Board of Education's decision to halt the renaming of
its schools is a huge victory not just in the fight against cancel
culture, but most importantly for our children," he told Fox News in a
statement. "Now that we've stopped this misguided revisionism, we must get
our children back in school immediately, something our elitist governor
Gavin Newsom refuses to do."
Faulconer has made reopening schools a key part of his campaign. On
Wednesday, Faulconer gave a press conference outside Abraham Lincoln High
School, one of 44 San Francisco schools targeted for renaming in recent
months because of supposed links to White supremacy. Schools named after
Presidents George Washington, William McKinley, James Garfield, James
Monroe and Herbert Hoover also made the chopping block.
"San Francisco's school board has prioritized removing the name outside
this school, over the education that should be happening inside this
school. President Lincoln should be celebrated, not canceled. Getting rid
of Lincoln's and Washington's name is outrageous," Faulconer said.

Faulconer's press conference came a day after the San Francisco Unified
School District (SFUSD) postponed scheduled talks on how to safely reopen
classrooms.
