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.
