Why did San Francisco voters recall three school board members?
Please click Display images in your email app to view this email properly

  1. Highly-rated - last 48 hrs
    San Francisco voters overwhelmingly back recall of progressive school-board members.
    National Review (Right) • Factual Grade 80% • 4 min read

    79% voted to recall board member Alison Collins, 75% voted to recall board president Gabriela López, and 73% voted to recall board member Faauuga Moliga. Turnout for the election was about 24%, with 119,718 of the 499,771 registered voters in San Francisco casting ballots.
    ...
    Tuesday’s election marked the end of a year-long recall campaign launched by two single parents and Bay Area tech professionals spurred to action by their frustration with the board’s refusal to reopen the city’s schools well into the Covid-19 pandemic. The pro-recall organizers brought in more than $1.9 million for their efforts, dwarfing the roughly $86,000 raised by supporters of the board members.
    ...
    The board became the focus of national ridicule last February after a two-hour debate over whether a gay white dad was diverse enough to join an all-female volunteer parent committee. All the while, the district’s budget deficit ballooned to about $125 million last year, leading California education officials to threaten a state takeover.

Are gunmakers partially responsible for mass shootings because of their marketing?

785 votes, 116 comments

Context: Families of Sandy Hook victims reach settlement with gunmaker Remington over its marketing tactics.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ No - Manufacturers shouldn't be held liable for someone doing something stupid with their product. What is even worse is that this is combining that with the violent video game assumption, even the most recent research has shown no hard evidence that violent video games are linked to violence, and the people doing these studies are really trying hard to make there be a link. If that link doesn't exist the link between the 'marketing' of the guns by having them in violent video games and the shooting also doesn't exist. [...] I am additionally unsure where these other ads are, I don't read or subscribe to any gun enthusiast magazines and I have never seen an ad for a bushmaster. Is it possible that in order to see these ads you would have to be reading such magazines or visiting such websites anyhow?”


“ Yes - In the same way that aggressively marketing cigarettes and vapes to children, aggressively market...”
