The San Francisco Board of Education made a mockery of diversity, even as members have the right intentions. At its February 9 virtual meeting, the board's execution in this pursuit was shoddy and resulted in a gay white man being vilified for who he is.As many people have no doubt heard, the board was considering the appointment of Seth Brenzel to the district's 15-member Parent Advisory Council, which was created to provide parent input to the Board of Education on policy.
He's a gay dad who is involved in his daughter's public school and the nine PAC members unanimously recommended him. (His daughter is mixed race, a fact that was both praised and dismissed by speakers during public comment.) He would be the only man and the only LGBTQ.
