If you were outraged - as you should be - by the 1776 Report’s failure to consult actual historians or do research, you should be just as mad at this disregard for historical expertise, nuance, rigor occurring in SF

Most rage re SF school renaming seems less about this (historically dubious) virtue signaling, more re prioritization amid prolonged school closure

Last, I appreciate @esksf skepticism re groups claiming to “protect” kids, families
CA orgs w names like “Moms for Moral Stability” led US in politicizing protection of “family values” against corrupt public schools in 1960s
But here... they are asking the right questions!
