And the support of the recall is aligned with this.\u201d L\u00f3pez\u2019s tweet included a photo of a headline from the Washington Post that said the three recalled board members were \u201cseen as too focused on racial justice.\u201d She replied to her original tweet, saying, \u201cThis headline says it all. If you are not outraged, you\u2019re not paying attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>L\u00f3pez and two other board members, vice president Faauuga Moliga and commissioner Alison Collins, were all ousted from their respective school board positions last week.<\/p>\n<p>The school board members were removed from their positions amid backlash over a controversial plan to rename a number of San Francisco schools in the midst of COVID-19 shutdowns. The recall effort was largely based on the school board\u2019s plan to rename 44 schools that it said honored public figures linked to racism, sexism, and other injustices &#8211; including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and US Senator and former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein. Parents raised concern over the board\u2019s push to rename schools instead of focusing on reopening schools that had been closed due to COVID-19. In January of 2021, parents began organizing a recall arguing the board was pushing progressive politics instead of acting in the best interests of children amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqed.org\/news\/11904879\/sf-school-board-recall-results-alison-collins-gabriela-lopez-and-faauuga-moliga-headed-for-recall\">San Francisco Board of Education\/ KQED<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Bobbie Wylie The progressive San Francisco school board president who was recalled from her position last week has claimed that the rare recall election was \u201caligned\u201d with white supremacy.
