These S.F. streets are named for people who were morally suspect, or worse, by school board standards

Gary Kamiya:

Now that the San Francisco school board has decreed that 44 public schools must be renamed because the figures or mythical entities they were named after do not meet our city’s moral standards, the logical next step is to root out offensive street and place names.

To assist in this process, herewith is an initial list of retrograde streets and sites in San Francisco, using the board’s criteria for exclusion. Those included slave-holding and participating in colonialism and genocide. To ensure that the moral quality of the names of our thoroughfares is as high as possible, figures who committed misdeeds outside the board’s criteria are also included, marked with an asterisk.
