César Chávez Elementary School in Los Angeles is among the facilities that could be renamed. Officials are moving Tuesday to strip the name of César Chávez from two Los Angeles school district campuses as fallout continues over allegations against the late labor leader of rape and sexual misconduct with minors. The measure, added by board members Kelly Gonez and Rocio Rivas, contains other significant provisions, including renaming César Chávez Day as “Farmworkers Day” to honor the contributions of those laborers in California. The schools in question are César Chávez Learning Academies in San Fernando and César Chávez Elementary School in El Sereno. The resolution also considers the possibility that allegations against Chávez could trigger mental health issues for survivors of sexual assault.
