San Franciscans voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to recall three progressives on town college board — for causes that resonate nationally, and particularly right here in New York Metropolis.

Partly, it was the board’s refusal to reopen colleges for in-person studying till fall 2021, even because it obsessive about renaming dozens of colleges over the “problematic” standing of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Dianne Feinstein (you learn that proper).

However the principle cause for the ouster of board prez Gabriela López, veep Faauuga Moliga and Alison Collins was their zealous emphasis on supposed “racial fairness”: particularly, their drive to finish merit-based admissions for elite Lowell HS — the place Asian college students are the bulk.

They added insult to damage, too: E.g.: Collins, who's black, tweeted in 2016 that Asian People used “white supremacist” considering and have been racist towards black college students. Then she refused to apologize, and even delete the offending posts.

Outraged Asian dad and mom organized and voted in droves: Recall assist was large in closely Asian areas like Sundown (87% in favor), Chinatown (84%) and Richmond (84%).

Dad and mom “have been preventing for what issues most — their kids,” famous Mayor London Breed, who backed the recall. “The voters of this metropolis have delivered a transparent message that the varsity board should concentrate on the necessities of delivering a well-run college system above all else.”

Related ideologues right here in New York are bent on destroying Gotham’s finest colleges within the title of “fairness,” and made important headway below the final mayor. Let all native politicians be on discover: Dad and mom gained’t put up with this pernicious nonsense.
