The San Francisco School Board last week authorized $600,000 in spending to destroy a mural depicting George Washington at a high school named for him.

“It’s rude and disrespectful to people’s cultures,” a junior at the school told the San Francisco Chronicle. The school board president agrees. “I think the images are really harmful,” Stevon Cook explains. “But I do understand the sensitivity about it being art. It’s a difficult position to be in.” The board’s vice president, Mark Sanchez, maintains, “Painting it over represents not only a symbolic fresh start, but a real fresh start.”

The San Francisco school board voted Tuesday to preserve but cover up a public high school mural depicting slavery and the killing of a Native American.

After a public outcry, the board voted 4-3 to reverse its June vote to paint over the "Life of Washington" mural at George Washington High School. Instead, staff were directed to work out alternatives to cover the mural with panels or other materials depicting "the heroism of people of color in America" and their fight against racism and poverty, said board President Stevon Cook, who made the proposal.

"We are not going to paint over public art," he said. "We're going to find another way to keep it from public view."
