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

San Francisco Richmond Review
Sep 4, 2022

Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp (former San Francisco supervisor, state senator, member of the SF Ethics Commission and retired judge)

Paul Scott, esquire, a public school parent from Telegraph Hill, by letter dated Aug. 18, demanded the Board repeal its Aug. 9 resolution, adopted by a 5-1 vote, for non-compliance with Brown Act notice (to the public) and agenda requirements and violation of the United States Constitution Establishment Clause and Article I, Section 4 of the California Constitution (establishment of religion). At press time, the School District hasn’t complied. I predict a suit this month by the San Francisco Taxpayers Association (of which I’m president) to protect taxpayer funds from dispensation to holiday-enjoying teachers and administrators, plus costs incurred by parents who would need care for their children on such unexpected holidays.

Quentin Kopp added a form of "Lincoln" humor at the end of his commentary:

Concerned that his son was spending too much time on video games, a father told him: “When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he was studying books by the light of the fireplace.” “Oh yeah,” replied the son. “Well, when Abe Lincoln was your age, he was president of the United States.”
