Perhaps private schools should avoid naming themselves after controversial people.

Wonder why Obama has not donated some of the millions he made on scamming people to buy his books full of lies?

So now we have another Obama thing going bankrupt.

Anything he touches or has his name on goes to hell in a hand basket.

B.c most schools have the patience to actually wait until a president has done something good for the country and finished their term or two , before naming their school after them.


The school administrators obviously voted for him, and like to force their political ideologies and racial importance on their youth, and this was reinforced to the parents when the school's name changed, so they transferred their kids to different schools instead of this bigoted learning environment.

I thought the OP was talking about "irony" considering Obama is still the president... just be careful, there might be a bailout...

Conservatives don't like a school (or anything) to be named after a black guy unless it's Alan Keyes or Clarence Thomas... just look at their posts in this thread...

Sure..... Sounds like they dislike him for his actions as President. Stop using the race card, it only cheapens actual cases of racism.

He is not black. His momma is as white as snow.

Sorry, another race card tossed into the trash can.

Maybe he had something to do with its closing because the kids were not learning enough about how to hate America like Barry, Michelle ( I am finally proud to be an American ) and Barrys momma (hated America with a passion and passed it on to her son).
