George Washington High School in San Francisco may soon get another name, if San Francisco Board of Education president Matt Haney has anything to say about it. Haney says he was inspired by San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick, now famous for sitting during the “Star Spangled Banner” in protest against what he says is America’s systemic oppression of minorities. He suggested, on Facebook on Sunday, that George Washington High should be the first on the chopping block. Haney wrote that the school should rebrand as “Maya Angelou High” because George Washington, besides being the founder of our great nation, was a slaveholder. “We tearing them all down,” Haney wrote.
