On Wednesday, The New York Post<\/a> reported that a special election in San Francisco resulted in the recall of three members of the city’s school board.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Three members of San Francisco\u2019s school board were ousted Tuesday in the wake of widespread backlash over the slow reopening of schools shut down by COVID-19 and a controversial plan to rename dozens of school sites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

School board president Gabriela L\u00f3pez, vice president Faauuga Moliga and commissioner Alison Collins were all stripped of their positions during a special election, according to tallies by the San Francisco Department of Elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furious parents launched the recall effort in January 2021 after arguing the school board was pushing progressive politics instead of acting in the best interests of children amid the pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe city of San Francisco has risen up and said this is not acceptable to put our kids last,\u201d said Siva Raj, a father of two who helped launch the recall effort.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Board of Supervisors president Shamann Walton had slammed the recall effort as being pushed by \u201ccloset Republicans and most certainly folks with conservative values in San Francisco, even if they weren\u2019t registered Republicans,\u201d the San Francisco Chronicle reported.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

But parents among the around 100 supporters gathered in the Mission District on Tuesday insisted that support came from all walks of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to show the diversity of the community behind this recall. I knew they were going to say, \u2018Oh, isn\u2019t it just a bunch of Republicans?\u2019 and I\u2019m like, do I look like a Republican?\u201d David Thompson, a parent dressed in head-to-toe rainbow drag who called his persona \u201cGaybraham Lincoln,\u201d told the outlet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The school board has seven members, all Democrats, but those three were the only ones eligible to be recalled. The replacements for the three ousted members will be named by Breed (San Francisco Mayor London Breed). <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayor Breed supported the recall effort. Parents and voters got involved and made the changes they felt were needed. Parents and voters can do that anywhere.<\/p>\n
