SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco residents recalled three members of the city’s school board Tuesday for what critics called misplaced priorities and putting progressive politics over the needs of children during the pandemic.
Highlights
- A special election on Feb.
- 15, 2022, will decide the fate of three school board members, all Democrats, including Commissioner Alison Collins.
- The election was the first recall in San Francisco since 1983, since a failed attempt to remove then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein.
- Critics say Collins, Lopez and Moliga prioritized racial equity because that was what they were elected to do.
- Collins came under fire for tweets she wrote in 2016 that were widely criticized as racist.
- Collins said Asian Americans used “white supremacist” phrase to get ahead of racist thinking.
