In the first battle of merit vs woke, merit won. That was the real battle described in the last blog, the recall of the San Francisco School Board members.
The School Board was 100% woke; changing the names of 44 schools such as Lincoln and Washington because the historic figures were not woke. The Board wanted to paint over an historic mural of George Washington’s life. The school finances were a total mess because of anti-merit incompetence of the board members. Lastly, the Board wanted to turn the century-old college prep school into an ordinary high school because the proportion of Asians was too high.
The electorate of San Francisco voted unambiguously to recall the Board. San Francisco is a heavily Democrat city with a union-run Party machine. But Asian Americans are a meritocratic citizenry and they made their voices heard clearly with 3/4ths of the voters rejecting the wokie School Board.
This may be the beginning of the end for the woke media and the Democrat establishment. America is one of the unique nations on the earth that is meritocratic. In a direct confrontation between the wokies who are tribal, racist, elitist with union values on the School Board versus the American values shown in the recall, American values won.
