Those members are: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alison Collins, Gabriela Lopez and Faauuga Moliga.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Francisco is one of the wealthiest cities in the nation, but currently holds one of the lowest average reading levels in the state, falling in the bottom 10%. According to Rob Kutner, parent and recall petition organizer, San Francisco&#8217;s poor education statistics are the result of mismanaged priorities, not sparse resources or limited funds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recall effort started over a year ago when public schools remained closed even after San Francisco city officials deemed it safe for children to return to in-person classes. Frustration among parents increased after the school board focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/ex-obama-aide-san-francisco-removing-names-schools-covid-crisis\">renaming 44 school sites deemed to be offensive<\/a> &#8211; including high schools named after Abraham Lincoln and George Washington &#8211; while private schools reopened safely for in-person classes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upset from residents of San Francisco were furthered by a series of what they called racist tweets by board member Alison Collins. Before Collins was on the\u00a0 school board and became its vice president,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/sf-school-board-takes-community-temperature-after-anti-asian-tweets-by-vice-president-surfaced\"> she had tweeted among other things, that Asian Americans had used &#8220;white supremacist thinking to assimilate and get ahead.&#8221;\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the recall, organizer Rob Kutner said, \u201cThis is a small town. There&#8217;s only about 800,000 people in San Francisco, so everybody knows somebody with kids in public school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of the recall are expected to be tallied next week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: AP Photo\/Haven Daley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Bobbie Wylie Three members of the San Francisco Unified School District Board are facing recall today in a rare special election.
