San Francisco

Meanwhile, SFUSD's board just voted 6-1 to adopt a new ethnic studies curriculum through a review process that set no passing threshold — and a legal challenge was filed the same night. Across both stories, the pattern is the same: city institutions making consequential decisions while insulating themselves from accountability.
