Acronyms are a sign of white supremacy, according to the San Francisco School Board, which has decided to stop using the acronym VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts) for their Arts Department. Instead, it will be called SFUSD Arts Department (SFUSD is an acronym for San Francisco Unified School District).
As ABC 7 reported, schools in San Francisco haven’t even reopened yet due to the pandemic, but the School Board has been making “disputable” decisions, including the claim that “acronyms are a symptom of white supremacy culture.” The outlet reported that Sam Bass, the director of the arts department said, “We are prioritizing antiracist arts instruction in our work.”
