I mean, I usually like it when Chotiner gotchas people to the brink of cancellation, too. But I strongly suspect Gabriela López doesn't deserve this invitation to mocking public contempt. I mean, how else is she doing as head of the SF school board? Might be worth knowing first.

In a hyper/ubiquitous media communication "society of the spectacle", when we see stupid shit we should call it out for what it is. No different than writers/advocates used to do in pre mass media age.

Agreed—unfortunately, in this age, ideological stupidity anywhere is a threat to open-minded intelligence everywhere.
