One school sheds its slave past

Jefferson Davis school in Mississippi renamed in honor of Barack Obama

What a positive message. Something that everyone can support.

Hey, you self-hating white turd, since you are a Westerner, you are a beneficiary of the ancient Greeks. Who had slaves. Let's do away with democracy and trial by jury to...um... show the world how much we hate slavery.

They need to concentrate on academics than trying to erase history.

What history have they erased?

The majority of black activists in the US think that the ancient Egyptians were black, that ancient Hebrews were also black, that blacks taught the genetically inferior cave-dwelling European whites how to bathe, how to read and write etc, and that historical records were falsified by racist white people to cover up similar truths. If we continue down this path of appeasement, then these fairy tales are going to replace actual historical records and be taught as fact.

People rejecting a cruel and oppressive aspect of their history is a good thing. Doesn't mean that it didn't happen. If only it could.

Well Tommy why don't reflect on your own country racist and bigoted past and present instead!?!

Mississippi is at the bottom of the educational ladder and should worry more about academics instead of renaming a school...

Also they should have named it after USSC Thomas instead of the wannabe Trotsky...

About 96 percent of students in Jackson Public Schools are African-American.

Every major American city has MLK Blvd.

That's where all the crime and violence is. Bet that makes MLK proud!

I read that rents have gone down on every street in AMerica renamed MLK

The problem is if you live in an MLK boulevard area, property values tumble upwards of 60%.

Davis International Baccalaureate Elementary School in Jackson, Miss., photographed Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2017, is shedding the name of Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy's only president and will instead be named for Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States. In a move proposed by parents, the school with 98 percent African-American enrollment is slated to be renamed for Obama, starting next academic year.

How in the hell do you name a school that is 98% black after the President of a nation created to keep blacks enslaved?

It would be like naming a Jewish School after Adolph Hitler

Gives the students a school they can be proud of......rather than being named after a slave raper and traitor

Typical leftist. It doesn't matter that it's the worst school in Mississippi. As long as the students are "proud" of the name, it's a win. Jackass.

This is indeed good news. I live in a DC suburb that actually has a "Jefferson Davis Highway" and a "Quantrell Avenue," as well as a "Reagan" National Airport. At Least JEB Stuart High School is getting a new name. The names of the people involved in the insurrection against the U.S.A. that ended in 1865 need to be retired to history. As for the "reagan" thing, it is an insult to Americans for some individuals to have plastered his name all over everything like a bunch of graffiti artists, and it should be removed from our public airports, buildings, and military vessels. There was never any legitimate reason to name anything after reagan. He was never a hero nor anyone worthy of note.

I agree

Why would you name a school after Jeff Davis?

A known traitor

How delusional. Everyone does not support it.

Of course bigoted delusional assholes like you do not support it. Fortunately, most of this nation's people are not like you.

And yet oddly, Trump is president.

Is Trump going to reverse the name change to appease his White Supremacist base?

Would you want your kid graduating from Barack Hussien Obama High? I mean if you weren't gay and had one.

Think of it as George Galloway secondary school.

Jeff Davis is not a good name in any case.

However, they would do better to rename it "Bill Robinson Elementary". At least he has a legacy.

Instead of focusing on the improving the education and capabilities of kids IN the school, we get this stupid ******* focus on the name OF the school.

Exactly what history is being "erased" by changing the name of the school? If it changes to Obama, will you suddenly forget who lost the Civil War?

Why can't we do both? And aren't you the people who want to cut funding for schools?

Why not? Are you going to suddenly forget who lost the Civil War now?
