11 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) — It was only a matter of time. A New York school has been renamed in honor of President-elect Barack Obama.

The former Ludlum Elementary School, in Long Island's Hempstead Union Free School District, was renamed at a school board meeting Thursday — effective immediately. The new name is the Barack Obama Elementary School.

School officials say most of the 440 students there are black or Hispanic, and Obama's victory is a source of great pride.

It's so ridiculous I can't even think of a comment. ;-/

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

Will this soon be the United Snakes of Obama? tones

 

[forsmant]

I thought we were supposed to wait until they left office? Oh well.

 

[SnappleLlama]

This is the ultimate FAIL.

The saddest thing is that these folk don't realize ..he doesn't care a whit about them. he's the same Fabian as any other Fabian up there. I was reading about how the Kenyans look to their leaders to solve everything...more like a king. Why in the world would the American blacks do the same thing? Is this an inherent trait? What the hell is going on with this? Why are some groups more prone to collectivism than others? i don't get it. tones

Good for us. It will be easy to know which schools to avoid

All that from one school changing their name...?! This is ridiculous. You guys are like political pundits...a never ceasing explanation that ends nowhere. A school was renamed...the timing didn't suit you...big fucking deal.

1. I object to your collectivist use of "you guys". Perhaps you've noticed there is a wide range of opinion on RPFs. There is no "you guys" here.

2. It's more than just the timing. To name a school for someone who has done nothing more than win an election so far is just one example of the apparent mass hysteria surrounding Mr. Obama. As someone who remembers the old Soviet Union very well, this virtual idol worship of a politician frightens me.

 

[sevin]

that school is going to become one of the crappiest elementary schools in the country

=0

I want that to be my school!
