I'm looking forward to your future commentary about issues in SF. I miss your columns in the Chronicle, and also, Debra Saunders, Phil Matier and Ross. That the Chron kept Justin Phillips over the rest of you all, blows my mind. Heather Knight and the Sporting Green are the only reason to continue with my subscription. Once a great Paper went into the toilet with the exit of you all.
By the way, that you charge 40% more than Glenn Greenwald, Bari Weiss, Freddy duBoer, et al, shows some real confidence. Better deliver, man ! 😉
Commissioner Hsu did nothing wrong in pointing out that children in the the Black and Brown communities have disproportionately low scores in reading and math proficiency. And with absenteeism, too. Now the reason for this is a lack of parental and community support OR..(.I will not go there, because those possibilities are clearly racist.) Was she insensitive when she spoke to this issue? Yes! But, perhaps we need some blunt talk for the NAACP and others to wake up to how much these kids from these communities are not being served well. If they were, we'd see higher scores, matching other racial groups in the San Francisco School District.

Wasn't sure how this was going to be received, but so far response has been mostly positive.
