LOL San Francisco, you’re so broken. From San Francisco Chronicle columnist Heather Knight:
The SF school board tonight spent two hours talking about whether to allow a gay dad of mixed-race SFUSD kids to volunteer for one of several empty seats on a parent advisory group. Their problem was that he’s white and doesn’t bring diversity to the group. 1/2

And he didn’t get the slot on the all-women group:
They didn’t appoint him, and now the parent group remains all moms which means women must do all the work of the group. And seven hours after the meeting started, they still aren’t talking about how to safely reopen schools.

As we wrote earlier. LOL:
The group is currently all mom volunteers. This person would have been a 100% increase in, you know, dads, on a parent advisory board. https://t.co/KL7ziZSRGp

As was made clear at the meeting, this is 100% because he’s white:

But don’t worry. They probably know what they’re doing as they help shape your child’s curriculum:

Well at least there’s SF and Chicago to make Northern Virginia school boards look better. https://t.co/Js18NL6mmZ

And the schools stay closed:

Every one of these people on the board needs to go:
I just want to say that the SF school board meeting is still happening.
It's been going for eight hours.
They're talking about reopening but…it's also nearly midnight. So very hard for families to be online right now.
