SF School Superintendent Maria Su Faces Congressional Hearing on Education Policies
San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Maria Su recently testified at a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C., addressing issues related to the district's policies on race, gender, and identity education. The hearing, titled 'Breaking Trust: Attacks on Parental Rights, Inappropriate Content, and Legal Abuses in America’s Schools,' was organized by the GOP-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Su, who was reportedly suffering from laryngitis, delivered a prepared and articulate testimony. The session included discussions on controversial topics such as 'drag queen story hours' and transgender policies. Su maintained a cautious stance, often attributing contentious incidents to the period before her tenure began 18 months ago. The hearing also saw participation from Kevin Kiley, an independent congressman from California, who praised the district for its recent educational improvements.
