come off 42 schools, whether it was abraham lincoln, because he was not politically correct anymore, people went, what is going on? that drove the attention to this board. what really happened here, dan, is they were dear -- very deep steeped in the woke idea, but completely asleep at the switch when it came to handling the pandemic. the schools stayed closed for a long time. parents felt their kids were getting a storch trip and the priorities were not in the right place. that is what we saw here. dan: this will be a wake-up call to everyone on the school boards around the bay area. san francisco is not done with recalls. another election coming up in june with voters deciding whether to recall the district attorney. he has been controversial recently. do you think that will help or hurt building a better bay area? phil: that depends on which side of the recall you're on. a lot of people right now would
