--FREEDOM WATCH ----PRESIDENTS CANCELED ~
--The San Francisco School Board has voted 6 to 1 to remove names of former presidents and other founding fathers from their public schools. Specifically mentioned were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, who they said had "dishonorable legacies." Other presidents included William McKinley, James Garfield, James Monroe and Herbert Hoover. Other men on the list were Francis Scott Key, Paul Revere, and Robert Louis Stevenson. Any school in their district that utilizes one of these name must choose a new name by next April. In defense of the move, board member Kevine Boggess stated, "I think we need to examine our naming policies across the district and really consider how the way we go about naming schools reflects our true values."
The cost of the change is expected to up to $1 million in a district that is already operating with a $75 million deficit ~
