Explorers like Vasco Núñez de Balboa are out too, as is Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
On Tuesday, the San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education voted to change the names of 42 schools because of alleged associations with slaveholding, colonization or oppression.
Those who supported the changes, which affect a third of the district’s schools, said names should reflect the values of a community.
But opponents questioned why some names were included, while others said the focus should be on more substantive issues.
The San Francisco Unified Board of Education voted 6-1 to change a third of its school names for their associations with racism, oppression and colonization.
