 WHATʻS HAPPENING WITH THE MCKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL NAME CHANGE?


 

Apparently certain administrators at McKinley High School are stalling and avoiding asking the wider McKinley community (students, parents, alumnae, etc.) for their input. 

Not even to ask, "Does anyone object to the name change?" 

While all across the USA the names of schools, streets, parks, landmarks, towns, etc. are coming under scrutiny, McKinley administrators are trying to pretend like it doesnʻt exist.

The San Francisco School Board alone has placed 44 school-names on the chopping block because of offensive inferences, yet McKinley High School administrators by their inaction are saying... "sure heʻs a crook, but heʻs our crook and weʻre sticking with him!"

It looks like they may be willing to perpetuate a lie because they are too fearful (or too lazy) to change the name. 

And what does that say about the inaction of the Board of Education?
