 which is catch up but you know last show I was going to talk about this under wacky things coming out of the left. So this is a wacky thing coming out of the left. So in San Francisco the school board is engaged in the process of renaming 44 of the 125 schools in the district is actually doing a survey with parents about changing the names and what names they would like and what names they don't like and and so on. So you know it's COVID schools are barely open. They're having challenges about how to do education given COVID. They're doing remote education budgets of cities and counties and states where most education dollars come from are shrinking because of COVID. But the San Francisco school district has nothing else to do but to figure out how to change the names of the schools. Right. Change the names of the schools because they're worried about these names of schools. Now I can understand if some of these schools would maybe named like like like the General Lee or the or the Jefferson Davis schools. You know these these civil civil war southern you know post slavery fighters people who fought for slavery. Okay well maybe maybe one could but 44 of these schools this is really some suspicion. They're not 44 you know post slavery people you know are they really that many bad bad really really bad people in the San Francisco has schools named after them that you'd want to change their school name. So you know I got a list. I got a list of these schools and it's it's quite quite interesting to look at these. I mean some of these some of these I just don't know what's going on because they must be a backstory but I don't know what it is. And then the San Francisco Chronicle ran with its readers ran a survey asking them which school names were they of the 44 which of they their schools would they want to change the name. So they ran. So here's some school names that San Francisco in its great wisdom is spending money resources brainpower time effort in order to rename their schools right. I mean this one's a good one I would rename the school. The Dianne Feinstein elementary school. Can you believe the Dianne Feinstein the the senator from California has a school named after her. Exactly what has she done to deserve that great credit but but here we are Dianne Feinstein elementary the voters in this poll that the San Francisco Chronicle ran. The number one school name that they believed needed to be changed was indeed the Dianne Feinstein school. So at least the San Francisco Chronicle readers seem to have good taste. Number 10 was Junipera Sarah elementary. I don't know what Junipera Sarah means what it stands for why anybody would have a problem with that Hubert Hoover Middle School Hubert Hoover president of the United States pretty bad president not a good president. Maybe it was a racist maybe something like that maybe that's what it is. I don't know why I mean other than he was a bad president that he basically turned a recession into a depression because of all his bad policies. Yeah that's good reason not to have a middle school named after him. But I find it hard to believe that that would be it. All right let's see Francis Scott Key don't know who that is. Alamo elementary they were offended by the Alamo standing up for liberty against Mexican oppression. Santa Ana was a dictator of Mexico and the Texas declared independence and they fought the Alamo for the cause of liberty and freedom and that's offensive to some people. But this one on the flip side of the Alamo is new Nuyega ES Nuyega school Nuyega. Can you imagine the communist the communist killer Nuyega Nicaragua who I think is the president now of Nicaragua is authoritarian. But but for many years of Marxist they have a elementary school named after Nuyega in San Francisco. Okay that should be changed. Then comes Jefferson. Of course Jefferson slave owner therefore can tolerate Jefferson. So no Jefferson schools we got to we got to change that name. Then Sherman this one is interesting one Sherman elementary. Now why don't they like Sherman. I mean. Oh he wrote the Star Spangled Banner. Okay well she must be she's obviously an American exceptionalist. And therefore she wrote the National Anthem. So in America we know is this horrible country. So that's why they don't like her as a name. Francis is he up name. But think about Sherman. Right. If not for Sherman we might still be fighting the Civil War. If not for Sherman the South might have actually succeeded in succeeding and the war would have ended maybe in a stalemate. Without Sherman there would be slavery. How long. I mean Sherman won the Civil War. General Sherman by going to the South making the civilian population of South suffer the consequences of the war they engaged in. He yes I get it he Francis is a he as soon as I said it I knew it. Sorry about that. But I mean Sherman is a hero for anybody who doesn't believe who believes slavery was an abomination. Sherman won the Civil War. Sherman ended slavery. Sherman is the one general in all of American history unequivocally is a good guy. Yes he fought an unconventional war that's why he won. He understood the war was not this was not civilized. Warned he'd be won and sometimes it was brutal. George Washington High School they don't like George Washington. I mean who do they like. Because they don't like New York either. So they don't like the Communist New Reggae and they don't like George Washington I guess again because he has slaves. But like wow I mean this is American history the greatest president maybe we've ever had with George Washington. Because he understood his role. Balboa I don't know what the problem was with Balboa. McKinley I don't like I don't like president McKinley McKinley was not a good president. But I don't think I dislike him for the same reason they do. Garfield is that also president not a very good one. I don't know much about the Garfield presidency. I'm going through some of these other names to see Stockton. Oh Stockton was one of the Robert Barons I guess was a wealthy industrialist. I think I'm not sure. ABAM Lincoln oh they don't like ABAM Lincoln either. Maybe maybe the school board of San Francisco actually does like slavery. I think the theme here is that they're actually pro-slavery. Because the two people most responsible for ending slavery in America at least directly ABAM Lincoln and General Sherman. Monroe they don't like president Monroe for some reason. Don't know maybe maybe owned slaves or something I don't know. Robert Louis Stevenson the author. What's up with that? Presidio they don't like the Presidio. All right those are the ones I have. Anyway I mean not a single problematic name that I saw on the except presidents who I really really really don't like. Garfield's presidency was short. Tom says yeah he was short he was shot shortly into it. So what what did he do that's so offensive that his name has to be taken off. Oh this is the New Yeager. There was the rule of Panama I thought New Yeager was the was the communist. Isn't he's the president of Nicaragua. Bobo is a Spanish explorer. Okay so I get it. Explorer of the native people. That's why. Interesting. Anyway this is what they've got to do with their time. This is what they've got to do with their efforts. Right. I know that John Brown did more to fight slavery maybe maybe because he created the environment in which an abling could come up. But in terms of direct impact on slavery the two people that had the most direct impact on slavery by winning that war was. Ortega is the one from Nicaragua. Ortega now they have an Ortega school here too. Wait wait wait wait. I saw Ortega here. I saw Ortega. There's definitely an Ortega school as well. So it's still. Okay. So what I said about about the other guy move it on to Ortega because they do add an Ortega and they want to change that school as well. I you know it just seems like crazy. Crazy leftist. Un you know no real thought. Random. Yeah generally anti you know anti people who supported slavery but then you've got in Sherman and and and and Lincoln. And then yeah yeah Hosea Ortega elementary I assume Hosea Ortega is the guy you guys are referring for. No this is Daniel Ortega. So I'm not sure who Hosea Ortega is. Yeah maybe we can find out who. Anyway the whole thing is I'm sure Chigavore will not be changed. They love Chigavore. So maybe I'm wrong maybe there is none. No communists here that they want to change. It's just Americans. They hate they just hate America. What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that men's life must be guided by reason by the intellect not by feelings wishes women or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.
