SF Schools Chiefly Left Brains In Natives’ Rear?

Only in “progressive” SF would a school district board suffer a voter recall for being obnoxiously woke, then, plan on removing the word “Chief” from all executive titling because some Native Indians had hurt feelings.

As an incredulous WSJ editorial board reminded the word “Chief” was in West Civilization’s lexicon LONG before North America was “discovered” by you know who, it called the SF school district “a slow learner.” Just two months ago, the editors noted, “voters ousted three school-board members in landslide elections. One complaint was that the board was more interested in progressive gestures, such as scrubbing Abraham Lincoln’s name off school buildings, than in reopening classrooms amid the pandemic.” So, so much for “Chief Executive Officer,” “Chief Financial Officer, and so on?

The unamused editors concluded: “Here’s what is particularly amusing in this [latest] attempt at progressive sensitivity: While the English language has lots of words that can be traced to the native peoples of the Americas, including ‘chipmunk,’ ‘barbecue’ and ‘hurricane,’ they don’t include ‘chief.’ That word comes from Old French, and originally Latin, and the Oxford English Dictionary has citations back to 1297.”
