The San Francisco school board recall effort and result is from a mix of different things. Some frustration was from keeping schools closed. Some from the school re-naming effort. Most of the anger was from the effort to change admissions criteria to Lowell High School (which is a test based) and Collins’ old tweets about Asian Americans. Asian Americans, especially Chinese, turned out to vote on this issue because it involves education and their kids. Many Asian American parents would have been ok with the school closures and other mitigation measures. But they are not ok with policies that attack and take away opportunities for their children simply because they are high achieving. The tide is turning or had turned on the left regarding “equity” and the various policies that try to socially engineer equal outcomes. It just doesn’t work.
