(THE HILL) – Three San Francisco school board members were overwhelmingly voted out of their positions on Tuesday in a widely anticipated recall election.
School Board President Gabriela López, as well as commissioners Faauuga Moliga and Alison Collins, were each recalled by more than 70 percent of the ballots cast on election day, according to the San Francisco Department of Elections.
While school boards have fallen into the political crosshairs during the coronavirus pandemic, the recall of Moliga, Collins and Lopez — three progressives in the seven-member San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education — was the result of bipartisan disagreement and exhaustion with their policies, including a failed attempt to rename 44 public schools in the district
Parents were initially frustrated that students were still stuck in distance learning last year despite county and state approval of a shift back to in-person learning and the board faced multiple lawsuits to re-open.
Then the board wanted to rename 44 schools amid a racial reckoning, which critics said was based on historical inaccuracies, The Associated Press reported. The district also moved to end merit-based admissions at an elite high school, Lowell, where Asian-Americans hold a majority. That effort came under additional fire when old tweets from commissioner Collins were unearthed in which she said Asians used “white supremacist” thinking to get ahead of Black students.
