Obama High?

[Tecumsehsbones]

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The school board of Virginia’s capital city is set to consider changing the moniker of a school named after a Confederate general.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that officials might rename J.E.B. Stuart Elementary School after former President Barack Obama.

Obama’s name is one of seven finalists for the school’s new name.

Other possibilities include Oliver Hill, a late civil rights attorney, and Henry Marsh, the city’s first black mayor.

More than 90 percent of the school’s student body is African American. The youngsters recently voted for their top three choices.

The Richmond School Board says the top three finishers will be revealed at their Monday evening session.

Richmond’s effort follows Petersburg’s February vote to rename three Confederate-named schools.

Stuart was a slave owner and a prominent Confederate cavalry commander.

How DARE they take the name of this great American hero off the school and re-name it for a Muslim terrorist!

BHO was high for his youth, that's why he won't release any school records.

That is crazy. Students will get lazy and hungry for fried chicken.

Salty Walty loves J.E.B. Stuart because he died so that men might be slaves.

I am not sure how these losing generals ever got things named after them in the first place.

I mean JEB Stuart probably was as responsible for shellacking they took at Gettysburg as anyone, and you name a school after him?

Most of the monuments and the naming binge happened in the 1890s, 1920s, and 1950s, all in response to significant advances by blacks in the U.S.

They were chosen in the name of hatred and ignorance.

Naming anything run by the gubmint in honour of a living person is asking for trouble.

He’s been dead a long time, and yes, I don’t like naming public things after living people cuz you never know what skeletons are in the closet or how the zeitgeist will change.

The naming binge began the day he left office. I wouldn't expect an ignorant Canadian to know that, though.

They named an aircraft carrier after Ronald Reagan but by that time, Ronald had no idea what an aircraft carrier was.
