San Francisco School Board Recall: Far-Left Progressives Ousted | National Review
. . ."Voters in the City by the Bay, the mecca of modern American progressivism, threw out three members of the San Francisco school board in recall elections on Tuesday. And the results weren’t close: 75 percent voted to recall board president Gabriela López, 73 percent voted to recall vice president Faauuga Moliga, and 79 percent voted to recall board member Alison Collins.
"Their reason for doing so: Progressivism run amok. Ryan Mills reported on the two parents who led the recall effort, Siva Raj and Autumn Looijen, last March. Raj was frustrated his children’s schools were not opened, so he attended a school-board meeting. There he found members arguing about identity politics instead of working to reopen schools. Reopening was at the bottom of the agenda, and discussion of it didn’t begin until almost midnight.". . .
PJ Media "The school board recall election results in San Francisco on Tuesday came as a shock to many on the left. Three perfectly diverse, perfectly woke school board members apparently never knew what hit them.
"It wasn’t even close. Indeed, the electoral massacre of the radical left was part of a trend that has seen victories for normalcy over craziness in Seattle, Minneapolis, Virginia, and New York.
- In Seattle, voters elected Ann Davison city attorney. Davison resigned from the Democratic Party because it had veered “so far left.” She defeated a candidate who wanted to abolish the Seattle police.
- In Minneapolis, the radical city council cut the number of police by one-third and then complained when violent crime skyrocketed. Voters there defeated a measure to replace most of the city’s armed officers with social workers.
- In New York, voters elected Eric Adams, a former police officer who just presented a budget to the city council that slashed every single department—except the police department.
- Glenn Youngkin’s big win in Virginia was heavy with portent for the radical left, signaling that suburban parents are finished with social experiments and overly-controlling teacher’s unions. Worrisome for Democrats, these are exactly the kinds of voters who put Joe Biden in office and could lead a GOP revival in the big-city suburbs.
"All of the above has taken place since the first of the year. Pollsters are telling us that voters are tired of COVID restrictions. What they’re missing is the quiet revolution being carried out by quiet people in the quiet corners of America.". . .
