SF Schools are facing a $169M budget deficit.
This is quite concerning.
The article doesn't explain what is causing the shortfall. Who/what funds the SFUSD and why is it falling short?

The school board has been more focused on renaming schools than on ensuring it is funded.
Lincoln high school is set to be renamed. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln's legacy is too stained.

Additionally, they took the only high school with merit-based admissions and made it a lottery.
My mom went to Lowell in the 60s when they had fast-track honors programs on top of the regular one.
Now, If you are a top 8th grader in SF, too bad. https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-progressive-assault-on-selective-high-schools-11606349353

I wish that instead of ripping down our top school, we built more merit-based schools.
If we don't have top-performing public schools, low-income families with high achieving children will leave town.
Today, more kids in SF are in private than public schools.

This speaks to a broader trend I am starting to see in SF.
As the Progressives work on behalf of "equality", the wealthy sequester themselves further.
Recently I'm seeing private security all over town. Is this the adult version of private schools?

SF is defunding SFPD yet shootings are up 32% YoY - primarily in low-income neighborhoods.
Burglaries & car-break-ins abound - but the wealthy have protected garages and private security forces.
They bicker over school names - while the wealthy's kids are in the classroom.

The Progressive ideology of SF Gov is hurting this town, its residents, and its children.
Our leaders claim that money is destroying the city. This is ignorant of economics - and human nature.
We now face a serious budget crisis.
I hope it's a wake-up call. (fin)
