This is totally amazing. The San Francisco school board, as you know, renamed a bunch of schools because of the racism of Dianne Feinstein and Abraham Lincoln of course.
And even the evil racism of poet and anti-slavery activist and abolitionist James Russell Lowell. They renamed the school named for him. Even though … IT WASN’T NAMED FOR HIM.
From the notes on the school, a small problem with the pitch.
IT WASNT’ EVEN NAMED FOR THE GUY!!! But guess what they did?
The best part is the "Notes" tab, where someone lays out why the stated reasons are complete BS.
Case in point: "Lowell High School must be renamed because the namesake was a racist."
Notes: "Yeeeah, no, it wasn't named after that guy at all."

The media dutifully repeated the talking points.
There were other such errors, too. Guess what they did with THOSE?
Another example: "Paul Revere led the Penobscot Expedition, which led to the colonization of the Penobscot."
Notes: "What? No. The Penobscot expedition was fought against the British, in Penobscot Bay. The natives weren't involved."
