Last time we checked in on the San Francisco school board, they were busying themselves with rebranding buildings named after such problematic figures as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Paul Revere, and even Dianne Feinstein. None of the schools in question are open for learning, of course, but educating children in any sort of healthy or fruitful way is largely beside the point these days. The destructive adults in charge have now set their sights on dismantling one of the most prestigious and revered high schools under their jurisdiction. Their justification for seeking to take a wrecking ball to a bastion of established success? Diversity concerns, naturally. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
