Day Around the Bay: SFUSD Opts For Less Controversial Ethnic Studies Curriculum
Briefly

The San Francisco Unified School District will transition to a state-approved ethnic studies curriculum after considering dropping its controversial homegrown version. Teachers must familiarize themselves with this new curriculum before classes resume on August 18. Meanwhile, the SF Bay Ferry is projected to exceed pre-pandemic ridership this summer, reflecting a recovery in public transit. In contrast, fears of ICE raids are leading to the cancellation of July 4th celebrations in Latino areas, while incidents involving suspects like Wess Roley, accused of starting a wildfire and killing firefighters, highlight ongoing community safety concerns.
