重新命名旧金山许多学校的计划被搁置
The head of the San Francisco school board has put on hold controversial plans to rename 44 schools until students are back on campus after months of virtual learning during the coronavirus pandemic.
在经历了几个月的疫情期间的在线学习之后，旧金山市学校董事会主席搁置了重新命名44所学校的计划，等到学生返回校园再议。
Board of Education President Gabriela López announced the decision in Monday’s editions of the San Francisco Chronicle and on SFChronicle.com on Sunday, the newspaper reported.
据《旧金山纪事报》报道，旧金山教育委员会主席加布里埃拉López在周一的《旧金山纪事报》和周日的《旧金山纪事报》网站上宣布了这一决定。
“There have been many distracting public debates as we’ve been working to reopen our schools,” López wrote. “School renaming has been one of them. It was a process begun in 2018 with a timeline that didn’t anticipate a pandemic. I acknowledge and take responsibility that mistakes were made in the renaming process.”
López写道:“在我们努力让学校重新开放的过程中，有许多分散注意力的公众辩论。”学校改名就是其中之一。这是一个始于2018年的过程，当时并没有预见到这场疫情。我承认在更名过程中出现了错误，并承担责任。”
The board’s 6-1 vote in late January to remove the names of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington from schools along with other prominent figures triggered debate on whether it took the national reckoning on America’s racist past too far.
一月底，委员会以6比1的票数通过了一项决议，将亚伯拉罕·林肯、乔治·华盛顿和其他著名人物的名字从学校中删除，这引发了一场辩论，争论的焦点是国家对美国过去种族主义的反思是否过头了。
A few days later, the city of San Francisco sued the San Francisco Unified School District and the board to force the reopening of schools to students. San Francisco teachers, like those in many big districts, are resisting a return to classrooms until they are vaccinated.
几天后，旧金山市起诉了旧金山联合学区和董事会，要求学校重新对学生开放。旧金山的教师们和许多大学区的教师们一样，在接种疫苗之前都反对重返课堂。
Since then, the issue of returning students to in-person learning has loomed ever larger as COVID-19 infection and hospitalization trends have greatly improved in California.
自那以后，随着加州COVID-19感染和住院趋势的显著改善，返校学习的问题越来越突出。
López said reopening will be the “only focus” until children are back in school and that renaming committee meetings are being canceled for the time being.
López表示，在孩子们返校之前，重新开放学校将是“唯一的焦点”，更名委员会的会议暂时被取消。
She also said there will be a “more deliberative process” in the future, including engaging historians from nearby universities.
她还表示，未来将会有一个“更慎重的过程”，包括邀请附近大学的历史学家。
“We recognize we need to slow down,” she wrote. “And we need to provide more opportunities for community input. We are working with educators at all levels to involve and educate our school communities about the renaming process. We are realizing, especially now, it will take time and energy to get that right.”
“我们意识到我们需要放慢脚步，”她写道。“我们需要提供更多的机会，让社会人士投入。”我们正在与各级教育工作者合作，让我们的学校社区参与并重命名过程。我们正在意识到，尤其是现在，我们需要时间和精力来实现这一目标。”
The board’s January resolution called for removing names that honored historical figures with direct or broad ties to slavery, oppression, racism or the “subjugation” of human beings.
该委员会1月份的决议呼吁删除那些与奴隶制、压迫、种族主义或“征服”人类有直接或广泛联系的历史人物的名字。
In addition to Washington and Thomas Jefferson — former presidents who owned slaves — the list includes naturalist John Muir, Spanish missionary Junipero Serra, American Revolution patriot Paul Revere and Francis Scott Key, the composer of the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
除了拥有奴隶的前总统华盛顿和托马斯·杰斐逊，还有博物学家约翰·缪尔、西班牙传教士朱尼佩罗·塞拉、美国革命爱国者保罗·里维尔和“Star-Spangled Banner.”的作曲家弗朗西斯·斯科特·基。
The name of California Sen. Diane Feinstein, whose star has faded among some liberals, also would be removed from an elementary school under the plan.
根据该计划，加利福尼亚州参议员黛安·范斯坦(Diane Feinstein)的名字也将从一所小学中移除。范斯坦在一些自由派人士心中的明星光环已经褪去。
