COVID frustrations get San Francisco test: The Note
ABC News
For all the noise and color coming from the right, COVID-weary San Francisco parents may leave the first major political marks of 2022.
The TAKE with Rick Klein
It's a story about COVID anger -- light on MAGA gear and Fauci-hating slogans -- that looks nothing like anti-vax rallies or masses of Canadian truckers.
For all the noise and color coming from the right, COVID-weary San Francisco parents may leave the first major political marks of 2022. It's mainly liberals taking on fellow liberals -- with a dose of some outside money and national attention mixed in -- over local education priorities and how best to get schools back to normal.
More relevantly, it's parents squaring off with other parents in Tuesday's recall election targeting the president of San Francisco's school board and two other board members. A campaign launched in a kitchen by two parents frustrated by the board's priorities could send a powerful message far beyond the shared hometown of Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
