A 2-hour Viewing of Arnautoff's Controversial Mural at Washington High School

After seeing the headline "Contentious mural on public display" in the SF Chronicle Friday morning, August 1, I shared the news with friends I'd already discussed Arnautoff's "Life of Washington with including a visitor I'd told about the controversy the previous evening, shortly after she'd arrived because it was of such great interest.

We were among the people who viewed the mural yesterday, Thursday, August 1, from 1-3 at Washington High School, where the turnout was greater than we'd anticipated with such short notice.

I added my name to a sign saying that the solution is to  "Educate  no Eradicate," as did Tom Miyoko, a former student at Washington High School.  But I was disturbed by reports that Washington High School has not been educating students on the mural.  Yesterday there was only temporary signage, and apparently it isn't part of the curriculum in classes on art and history.

Why isn't there permanent signage and an orientation for all new students?  Why isn't it a part of the curriculum?
