The San Francisco Unified School District made the ironic decision to cancel at least for now its effort to scrub 44 “racist” names from its schools, including those named after Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
San Francisco Board of Education Commissioner Gabriela Lopez chose to table the matter after City Attorney Dennis Herrera filed a lawsuit last week against the school district in an effort to force it to reopen classrooms for in-person learning.
Now Lopez is claiming the school district’s focus will be on reopening classrooms.
“We’re canceling renaming committee meetings for the time being,” she said. “We will be revising our plans to run a more deliberative process moving forward, which includes engaging historians at nearby universities to help.” ....

Editorial Roundup: Kansas


Because what we’re thinking is that next time you (correctly) accuse U.S. Senate Republicans of pretending that accountability just wasn’t possible for former President Donald Trump, look in the mirror and behold someone who just did exactly the same thing.

Op-Ed: AMA Needs To Go Bigger on Racial Justice


The American Medical Association (AMA) has never been a trailblazer on issues of social and racial justice.
As in society as a whole, attitudes at the AMA have changed, albeit at a glacial pace. In 2008, the AMA broke new ground and apologized for its long history of discrimination against Black physicians it didn t admit its first Black delegate to its policy-setting House of Delegates until 1950, more than a century after its founding and entered on what it calls a path of racial healing and reconciliation.
Thirteen years later, AMA leadership again felt a sting of conscience about past policies that kept Black medical doctors out of the mainstream of American medical politics. The target this time was the AMA s revered founder Nathan Smith Davis Sr., MD, LLD, who helped create the AMA and aimed to make it an arbiter for improving the standards of medical practice. ....
