Many said this was coming, including Trump, and now the San Francisco school board president, Gabriela López, 30, and the school board voted 6-1 to change 44 schools names that have been branded racist by current woke activist, including schools with the names Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

Parents and residents were troubled to find out committee members allegedly used references from Wikipedia and other unreliable sources to determine which personalities were racist and problematic rather than consult with actual historians on the matter.

Daily Mail reports:

Several of those citations have now been proven to be factually incorrect, including a false claim that American poet James Russell Lowell did not want black people to vote and that Paul Revere’s military activities were tied to ‘the conquest of the Penobscot Indians’. 

Gabriela López, the head of the San Francisco Board of Education, continues to defend the decision claiming in a tense interview with the New Yorker that she doesn’t want to ‘discredit the work that this group has done’ despite their use of inaccurate information.

She claimed that she did not believe the names had been selected in a haphazard way, even after being read a list of the misinformation that was used in some of the decisions. 

‘No, because I’ve already shared with you that the people who have contributed to this process are also part of a community that is taking it as seriously as we would want them to,’ Lopez argued about the errors made in the research process.

Lopez said that she did not believe Lincoln was a person she would ‘admire or see as a hero’.

It seems like we are well on our way to making George Orwell’s “1984” non-fiction.
