From the November 30, 2020, Los Angeles Times "San Francisco may rename 42 schools, including Lincoln Highand Dianne Feinstein Elementary" by Faith E. Pinho.
There were 42 schools recommended for renaming. For those of you counting, that's one third of their schools.
Some of the school's namesakes have already come under fire, including California missionary Father Junipero Serra and "Star-Spangled Banner" author Francis Scott Key.
Others, like Abraham Lincoln and Senator Dianne Feinstein, well, maybe the reasons are not so obvious.
Even the storied magnet school Lowell High is on the last. Its namesake James Russell Lowell was an abolitionist (Okay) but his writings.
