The 10 people currently on the council are all women: Two are African American, one is Asian American, three who were described at the meeting as \u201cLatinx,\u201d one Pacific Islander, and three white parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommissioner Matt Alexander, a new board member and former district principal, noted the \u2018underrepresentation of Arab, Vietnamese, Native American folks\u2019 and \u2018Chinese parents and Chinese-speaking parents.\u2019 Alexander, who identified himself as \u2018the lone white board member here,\u2019 said it \u2018seems like the white members are overrepresented on the P.A.C.\u2019 About 15 percent of students in the district are white, according to the district,\u201d National Review reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m probably going to get complaints now I\u2019m telling white parents not to be involved or something. I want to be clear, that\u2019s not what I\u2019m saying,\u201d Alexander said, adding, \u201cWhite parents also in the city tend to have a lot of privilege and power and access the board of ed in various ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much of the two-hour debate was filled with public comments, with many saying the council didn\u2019t need another white person, even if he is gay, as other \u201cvoices need to be heard first before white queer voices.\u201d Some even likened his appointment to \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many also defended Brenzel\u2019s potential appointment, saying he would be the only male and the only member of the LGBTQ community on the council. One commenter reminded the school board that \u201cthere is diversity beyond the color of our skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brenzel, who runs a successful summer music school, was ultimately rejected for a position on the council, even though, as some commenters noted, there were still six open positions that could be filled with the desired ethnicities.<\/p>\n<p>This is the latest example of wokeness from this particular school board, which has in just the past month endured heavy criticism for deciding to rename numerous public schools based on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/san-francisco-public-schools-renaming-plan-rife-with-historical-errors\">historically inaccurate<\/a> Google Doc, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/san-francisco-school-district-drops-one-acronym-for-another-while-claiming-theyre-a-symptom-of-white-supremacy-culture\">claiming<\/a> acronyms are a \u201csymptom of white supremacy culture\u201d while replacing one acronym with another, and getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/san-francisco-sues-its-own-school-district-over-re-opening-plan\">sued<\/a> by the city itself for failing to develop a plan to return kids to school.<\/p>\n<p>Seven hours into the meeting Tuesday night and the school board still hadn\u2019t even mentioned any plans to reopen schools, Knight reported.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">They didn\u2019t appoint him, and now the parent group remains all moms which means women must do all the work of the group. And seven hours after the meeting started, they still aren\u2019t talking about how to safely reopen schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Heather Knight (@hknightsf) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hknightsf\/status\/1359382617682976768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
