Recall of San Francisco School Board Members: a Sign of Volcanic Eruption
The recent recall of three left-wing school board members demonstrates that parents, even in heavily Democratic San Francisco, are fed up with wokeness.
Voters backed the school board recalls by at least 70% of the vote. Even the city’s liberal mayor supported the effort.
Ruth Institute President, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse Ph.D., said: “You have to be deaf not to hear the rumblings of a volcanic eruption. Parents are reclaiming control of their children’s education and not a moment too soon.”
“It’s hard to say what motivated voters more: arbitrary school shut-downs, sexual indoctrination, or renaming schools that honor presidents. Whatever their reasons, parents in this very liberal city rejected the notion that schools can do whatever they wanted to their children.”
“What happened in San Francisco is part of a growing pattern. In Virginia, parents objecting to public school indoctrination probably decided the governor’s race.”
“Former governor Terry McAuliffe had a comfortable lead over his opponent, Glenn Youngkin. Then, in a debate, McAuliffe stated: ‘I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.’ It was the equivalent of committing suicide on live television.”
“Further, in Loudoun County, VA, parents were up-in-arms over the district’s transgendered policies after a male student dressed in a skirt raped a female student in the women’s restroom.” [Read story here]
In the end, Youngkin, who supported parental rights, won the election in the upset victory of the year.
“You’d think that would have been a wake-up call for public school officials,”Morse said. “Instead, their arrogance is apparently boundless. Rather than listen to parents’ complaints, they resort to name-calling, like ‘white supremacist’ and‘transphobic.’ In San Francisco, one of the ousted school board members actually accused Asian parents of promoting white supremacy.”
“The Ruth Institute has said, time and again, parents are the primary educators of their children. Teachers and bureaucrats can’t shove dogma down students’ throats and not suffer the consequences. Parents are outraged and mobilizing across the country, determined to assert their right to control their children’s education.”
“The revolution has just begun.”
