CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 17, 2020
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS? A SAN FRANCISO SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PLANNING TO RE-NAME NEARLY ONE-THIRD OF ITS 125 SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE NAMES HAVE BECOME “CONTROVERSIAL.” THESE INCLUDE ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THOMAS EDISON, EVEN SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN.
THE RATIONALE, IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT, FOR SCRAPPING ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL? A COMMITTEE DECIDED LINCOLN DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THAT “BLACK LIVES MATTERED TO HIM.” WHAT HISTORY BOOK ARE THEY READING? AND, THEY SAY HIS POLICIES WERE DETRIMENTAL TO NATIVE AMERICANS.
HERBET HOOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL? OUT. SAME WITH THOMAS EDISON, INVENTOR OF THE LIGHT BULB AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS? THEIR PROBLEM WITH EDISON? HE ALLEGEDLY ELECTROCUTED ANIMALS.
ROOSEVELT MIDDLE SCHOOL ALSO FACES A REBRANDING OVER HIS “OPPOSITION TO CIVIL RIGHTS AND VOTING RIGHTS FOR BLACK PEOPLE.”
SENATOR FEINSTEIN, A FORMER SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR, WILL HAVE HER NAME REMOVED FROM AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE ONCE ALLOWED A CONFEDERATE FLAG TO FLY IN FRONT OF SAN FRANCISCO CITY HALL, AMONG OTHER CRAZY REASONS.
ALL OF CALIFORNIA, NOT JUST SAN FRANCISCO, SHOULD BE DECLARED MENTALLY INCOMPETENT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
