Episode description

San Francisco is looking to re-name 44 of its' 114 schools. The move was prompted by a review of existing names for slavery links, genocide perpetrators, colonialists, white supremacists etc.  9 US Presidents' names would be stripped from our schools including, Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt.  Even Senator Dianne Feinstein would lose her place of honor and our Spanish Colonial historic roots expunged. But San Francisco's schools are still closed to in person learning and many, even in woke San Francisco, feel this is a bridge too far. Has the cancel culture run in to a brick wall in the City by the Bay ?
