San Francisco School Board Recall and Lowell High School
San Francisco voters recalled three school board members following a controversy over renaming schools and changing the merit-based admissions at Lowell High School to a lottery system. The move alienated the city's Asian and ethnic minority populations who relied on the elite school for their children's advancement. Mayor London Breed has since shifted her stance to support more moderate policies.
