His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"cveltman":{"type":"authors","id":"8608","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8608","found":true},"name":"Chloe Veltman","firstName":"Chloe","lastName":"Veltman","slug":"cveltman","email":"cveltman@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Arts and Culture Reporter","bio":"Chloe Veltman is a former arts and culture reporter for KQED.

Moliga, however, has relied on a donor network close to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A KQED analysis of campaign filings for the election, slated for Feb. 15, found that at least 76% of the pro-recall cash raised so far is coming from donors in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the recall, who haven’t started fundraising, will likely seek to portray the campaign as spearheaded by forces outside of the city — as has been the case in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/10/26/1049078199/a-look-at-the-groups-supporting-school-board-protesters-nationwide\">a number of other recent school board protests across the country \u003c/a>— said Jason McDaniel, associate professor of political science at San Francisco State University, who reviewed KQED’s findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I

to that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'Local networks'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But the campaign finance reports filed with the city do reveal some potential political vulnerabilities for the recall campaign: Its top donors are wealthy venture capitalists who could serve as prime foils for the unions likely to bankroll the imperiled board members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the recall campaign, at least initially, appears to be more of an “amateur affair” than an orchestrated big money takeover of San Francisco schools, McDaniel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't mean that in an insulting way. There's not maybe a ton of political experience there,” he added. “But what that seems to be is that they're turning to their local networks. ...

The campaign reported raising $49,934 in unitemized donations through May 31, and just $12,038 since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The other side\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the campaign in support of Collins, Lopez and Moliga is just beginning to emerge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recall opponents launched their own effort last week, calling themselves NoSchoolBoardRecall, a self-described “group of parents, educators, and concerned SF residents who care about the needs of our public schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s teachers union, United Educators of San Francisco, is not involved in that campaign, though it is opposed to the recall, said its president, Cassondra Curiel. Instead, union leaders have said they are currently focused on member and community education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to educate the community around why this recall is a waste of resources that should be spent on schools and is the first step on a path toward an ill-advised mayoral controlled school district,” Curiel said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curiel sees it as linked to the wave of recalls across the country — \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/School_board_recalls\">Ballotpedia has tracked 84 school board recall efforts\u003c/a> so far this year, the highest tally on record. Meanwhile, the California School Boards Association counts roughly 60 efforts in the state alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, a political campaign committee called “Stop the Recall of Faauuga Moliga” filed with the city, an indication that the embattled board members may end up raising money separately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Tramutola said, unions will provide the big money against the recall. And he said the local teachers union will likely flex its influence with the city’s Democratic clubs, which hold major sway with voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the recall on the ballot, he said, the real fundraising will begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is far from a done deal. It's a lot easier collecting signatures for a recall than to recall someone,” he said. “So I expect a battle royal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11894065/sf-school-board-recall-funded-mostly-by-local-donors-with-venture-capitalists-topping-the-list","authors":["227","11276"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_29311","news_20013","news_30139","news_29888","news_17968","news_123","news_30150","news_30277"],"featImg":"news_11894302","label":"news"},"news_11892743":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11892743","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11892743","score":null,"sort":[1634605721000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"recall-of-3-san-francisco-school-board-members-headed-to-ballot","title":"‘It's a Question of Competence’: San Francisco to Hold Recall Election of 3 School Board Members","publishDate":1634605721,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>The campaign to recall three members of the San Francisco Board of Education has submitted enough valid signatures to put the questions before voters next year, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882638/turbulent-times-for-san-franciscos-school-district\">referendum on the district's handling of the coronavirus pandemic\u003c/a> and its stewardship of the city's schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco's Department of Elections announced Monday that recalls against Alison Collins, Gabriela López and Faauuga Moliga will appear as three separate questions on a Feb. 15 special election ballot, after organizers submitted far more than the 51,325 signatures per member required to force a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote will be the first ballot recall of a San Francisco official in nearly 40 years, since then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein defeated a recall with 81% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a huge relief to know that we're on the ballot and we're going to be finishing this journey a year and a day after we started it,\" said Autumn Looijen, co-chair of the recall campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looijen and Siva Raj launched the recall effort in February 2021, as San Francisco school \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11861466/sfusd-isnt-alone-escalating-pressures-facing-lawmakers-in-school-reopening-debate-across-bay-area\">board members faced escalating pressure from some parents to resume in-person learning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the board argued that members had prioritized initiatives to rename certain schools and revamp the admissions process at Lowell High School over what they considered to be the far more pressing issue of reopening classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Looijen said the recall is not just a punishment for past decisions, but a way to ensure sound management of a district that currently faces a $116 million budget deficit for the 2022-2023 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For us, it's not a question of consequences, it's a question of competence — whether they have the skills necessary to deal with the budget crisis,\" Looijen said. \"They've shown no propensity for having deep, nuanced conversations about the problem, and we need someone who will listen to the whole community when they're making big cuts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any of the three board members is recalled, San Francisco Mayor London Breed would appoint their replacement.

The suit is seeking close to $90 million in damages from the San Francisco Unified School District and five Board of Education members who supported a no-confidence vote against her. It also demands the board reinstate her as vice president and back into the committee leadership positions she was removed from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather than take actions to protect Black and Brown children from racist harassment and bullying, defendants opted to ‘burn’ the messenger, using a pretzel-twisted redirection of Ms. Collins' seasoned social metaphors aimed at uniting all marginalized, colonized and racially oppressed people against racism and oppression,” the suit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit further alleges that the action to remove Collins as vice presidents caused “irreparable injury, loss and damage to Ms. Collins, including damage to her reputation and standing in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/10465034/?ex_cid=TA_KGO_TW&taid=606569ee11410f0001ac5e8c&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter\">rally \u003c/a>supporting her, held Wednesday evening outside of SFUSD headquarters, Collins said she has been the focus of a “targeted smear campaign to label me as a racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will continue to advocate for children and family and for those whose voices are often unheard and whose futures lie in the balance,” Collins told a crowd of about 50 supporters. “I invite you to join me in making this moment count to not let me or anyone else be swept under the rug, canceled or dismissed for speaking truth to power.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins, who is Black, came under fire earlier this month after critics resurfaced a thread of inflammatory tweets she wrote more than four years ago, accusing Asian Americans of failing to support other racial minority groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"sfusd\"]Many Asian Americans, she wrote, “believe they benefit from the ‘model minority’ BS’ ” and “use white supremacist thinking to assimilate and ‘get ahead.’ ” Collins also used derogatory terms like \"tiger moms\" and \"house n****r\" in some references to Asian Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the thread, Collins called for Asian Americans to speak out against then-President Donald Trump’s policies, citing an incident in which her daughter allegedly helped stop a group of Asian American boys from bullying a Latino student at her Asian American majority school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t Asian Americans know they are on his list as well?” Collins wrote. “Do they think they won’t be deported? profiled? beaten?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins has since said her words were taken out of context and apologized “for the pain my words may have caused.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since they were first circulated over a week ago, dozens of officials, including San Francisco Mayor London Breed, have condemned the tweets and called on Collins to resign, even as a number of local Black leaders and civil rights groups have come to her defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The posts were resurfaced amid a surge of violence and harassment against Asian Americans in the Bay Area and around the country, including a mass shooting in Georgia that left six women of Asian descent and two others dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tweeting incident is the latest embarrassment for the city's \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11858457/as-battle-over-reopening-san-francisco-schools-turns-ugly-equity-emerges-as-fault-line\">embattled school board\u003c/a>, which has prided itself on putting racial equity at the top of its agenda. The board has recently faced fierce criticism from parent groups for its handling of school reopenings, as well as its support for renaming many district schools and changing the admissions policy of its most prestigious high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a school board meeting earlier this month, shortly after Collins' tweets reemerged, Lowell High School senior Shavonne Hines-Foster, a student delegate for the district and a member of her school's Black Student Union, admonished some of the adults who have been most vocal in this controversy.

In just the last week, an increasing vaccine supply and the hope of a continued decline in infections has accelerated the progress of reopening schools in large districts like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11863665/questions-linger-as-san-francisco-schools-aim-to-reopen-next-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/education-lab/article249615263.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are generally supportive of handing authority to local governments; the leading Republicans seeking to challenge Newsom in a potential recall election this year said they would also not have suspended collective bargaining rights to force reopenings.

And in San Francisco, critics of the board are pursuing a recall and a wholesale change in how members are selected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing both impatient Sacramento lawmakers and exasperated parents, \"school boards have really been stuck in the middle,\" said Troy Flint, senior director of communications for the California School Boards Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're dealing with parent communities which are often rife with division on this issue,\" he said. \"And they don't really have the framework needed to effectively pursue negotiations on reopening, because there hasn't until now been the standard for the state on what acceptable measures of safety are to reopen.\"\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nBy and large, parents furious with the lack of progress on reopenings argue their elected boards are too aligned with local teachers unions — and thus more likely to prioritize the safety of educators over the education and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/18/953581851/ive-tried-everything-pandemic-has-cut-options-for-kids-with-mental-illness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mental well-being\u003c/a> of students, which have \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/who-is-losing-ground-with-distance-learning-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suffered greatly\u003c/a> during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That perceived imbalance is likely a result of shifts in education decision-making over the last half century, said Gary Hart, the former state secretary of education under Gov. Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until the 1970s, school boards had greater control over decisions to tax and spend on local schools. That provided an incentive for business-minded community members to run for seats on the board to provide a check on members more sympathetic to teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That began to change in 1971, when the California Supreme Court ruled that the state's education funding scheme \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/serrano-v-priest-27628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disadvantaged students in low-income neighborhoods\u003c/a> where fewer local taxes could be raised to pay for schools. Then, in 1978, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, the landmark initiative that dramatically shrunk the amount of local property tax revenue that schools had traditionally relied on, forcing districts to feed from the trough of state revenue controlled by the Legislature and governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"School boards no longer had much overall control of their school budgets, particularly as it related to increases in spending,\" Hart said. \"So as a result of that, I think there was a diminishment of civic leaders serving on school boards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their place, he said, emerged increasingly diverse school board candidates who were more aligned with the California Teachers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mayoral Involvement\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Beyond recall campaigns, parent advocates and some supervisors in San Francisco say the answer is to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11861151/new-pac-targets-san-francisco-school-board-over-reopening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">move away from a citywide election of school board members\u003c/a> — either by splitting the election into districts, or by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/heatherknight/article/Should-S-F-City-Hall-control-the-school-board-16005019.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">giving the mayor direct power\u003c/a> to appoint the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that there needs to be some change, what that change is, is yet to be determined,\" San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882236/2010101882236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent interview on KQED Forum\u003c/a>, when asked about the possibility of appointing the board. \"I know that folks who don’t even have kids in the school district are paying very close attention to the fact that the leaders of our school district are not up for the task of doing what’s necessary to get our kids back in school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who has joined parents at recent rallies to support reopening, was reluctant to endorse more mayoral control over schools.

Then, in 1978, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, the landmark initiative that dramatically shrunk the amount of local property tax revenue that schools had traditionally relied on, forcing districts to feed from the trough of state revenue controlled by the Legislature and governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"School boards no longer had much overall control of their school budgets, particularly as it related to increases in spending,\" Hart said. \"So as a result of that, I think there was a diminishment of civic leaders serving on school boards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their place, he said, emerged increasingly diverse school board candidates who were more aligned with the California Teachers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mayoral Involvement\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Beyond recall campaigns, parent advocates and some supervisors in San Francisco say the answer is to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11861151/new-pac-targets-san-francisco-school-board-over-reopening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">move away from a citywide election of school board members\u003c/a> — either by splitting the election into districts, or by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/heatherknight/article/Should-S-F-City-Hall-control-the-school-board-16005019.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">giving the mayor direct power\u003c/a> to appoint the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that there needs to be some change, what that change is, is yet to be determined,\" San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882236/2010101882236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent interview on KQED Forum\u003c/a>, when asked about the possibility of appointing the board. \"I know that folks who don’t even have kids in the school district are paying very close attention to the fact that the leaders of our school district are not up for the task of doing what’s necessary to get our kids back in school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who has joined parents at recent rallies to support reopening, was reluctant to endorse more mayoral control over schools.
