SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco school board has reversed a much-criticized decision to rename 44 schools it said were linked to racism, sexism, slavery or other injustices.In another controversial matter, the school board passed a resolution committing to reopen schools in the fall for all students K through 12 for full-time, in-person learning five days a week.
The vote was unanimous.Both moves were made to avoid costly litigation and tone down outrage at what critics call ill-timed activism.The board voted late Tuesday to rescind its January decision to strip schools of the names, including Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.The board had said the schools should be named after other figures in U.S.
