In San Francisco, Virus is Contained but Schools Are Still Closed

[David Lockmiller]

The Washington Post reports today with the headline:

"San Francisco recalls school board members seen as too focused on racial justice"

It spent months deliberating how to rename 44 schools after a committee found their namesakes had connections to slavery, oppression and racism, though many of the alleged ties were thin or, in some cases, historically questionable or inaccurate.

These "woke" San Francisco School Board members were going to rename Abraham Lincoln High School for just cause.

President Abraham Lincoln first issued the Emancipation Proclamation and in 1865 achieved passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which he described himself as the "King's cure" to the end of slavery in the United States of America.

Amendment XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This Amendment to the Constitution makes the title of the Washington Post story on School Board Recall Election a bit ironic:

"San Francisco recalls school board members seen as too focused on racial justice"
