Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) namesake is also on the list.The school district’s School Names Advisory Committee is considering the name changes and local news reports said a decision would be announced by December 18. Forbes Magazine reported on the plan:
The criteria for renaming included “anyone directly involved in the colonization of people,” “slave owners or participants in enslavement,”

Are they going to include the Spanish colonizers, the French colonizers?
They should use the NYC school names, PS123, PS124, etc..
No names needed.

''Perpetuators of genocide''? You mean anybody who voted to fund Planned Parenthood, an organization that disproportionately ends the lives of blacks?

So would they be happier with "All White School" and "All Black School"? Names of schools (Lincoln, really?) have nothing to do with the lack of education too many black students obtain. When you are told that education is being white, getting good grades is being white, reading is being white, speaking and writing in correct English is being white, turning in assignments on time is being white, participating in your own education is being white . . . Stop blaming anyone and everyone for your own short comings and take a long look in a mirror to see the problem up close and personal.

No street or building was ever named based on skin color until the left starting doing it.

Just change the school names to "Indoctrination Center 001, Indoctrination Center 002, etc." The only humans without fault are the saints, so the board could name the schools after saints but hey, that's not going to happen, is it.

Growing up in the 50's many black families had the surnames Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, etc. Are they going to be changing them as well.

Involved in colonization? The whole freakin' country began as thirteen colonies. According to these morons, all white people in America are guilty. Maybe that's what they are working toward? George Washington Carver will disappear along with the rest of them.

FTA: "The criteria for renaming included “anyone directly involved in the colonization of people,” “slave owners or participants in enslavement,” “perpetuators of genocide,” “those who exploit workers/people,” “those who directly oppressed or abused women, children, queer or transgender people...”
It is extremely curious how and why the Left glorifies Muslims, even as they are among today's worst offenders relative to the stated renaming criteria. In fact they check all of the boxes in 2020, not just as some arcane historical artifact. Biden has even pledged that Muslims will serve at all levels of his administration and no woke journalist dares to question him regarding on-going muslim oppression against the Left's preferred categories, like casually tossing "queer or transgender people" off of rooftops.

Since Africa sold it's citizens into slavery, will all things African be eliminated too?
