A Google Doc, used by a San Francisco Public Schools renaming committee to track historical research into “controversial” figures whose names appeared on 44 of the district’s buildings, was “rife with historical errors” and contained information gathered through “casual Google searches” — and in some cases, the information did not relate at all to the individual considered “controversial.”
San Francisco’s school district voted last week to accept a committee’s recommendations and to rename 44 schools, including buildings named after former Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, inventor Thomas Edison, Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere, and California’s longtime Democratic senator, Dianne Feinstein.
