KTBC-TV ^ | April 26, 2017

The Austin School Board is looking into changing the name of a local elementary school, after hundreds of parents said they take offense to the school's namesake, a Confederate Army general.

The school's Campus Advisory Committee voted unanimously to have the board consider changing the name of Robert E. Lee Elementary.

FOX 7 has obtained a list of the nominations that have been submitted.

Here are the 5 submissions with the most number of votes...

• Donald J. Trump Elementary: 45 nominations
• Robert E. Lee Elementary: 34 nominations
• Russell Lee Elementary: 32 nominations
• Harper Lee Elementary: 30 nominations
• Elisabet Ney Elementary: 15 nominations

Some other notable submissions include...

Idiocaracy Elementary (Yes Idiocracy is misspelled. Not sure if that is intentional.)
John Cena Elementary School
Drew Brees Elementary
Bruce Lee Elementary
Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance (With 8 nominations.)

We here at FOX 7 are a little partial to "Richard "Cactus" Pryor Elementary.

I'm guessing it's this guy.

Russell Lee (July 21, 1903, Ottawa, Illinois – August 28, 1986, Austin, Texas) was an American photographer and photojournalist, best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA). His technically excellent images documented the ethnography of various American classes and cultures.

Well, we might as well get rid of the State o Texas since it was part of the confederacy. Just abolish it and carve it up into something else.

In fact, let’s just abolish the United States. We should carve it up and give pieces to the gibsmedats and everyone needs to burn their homes and businesses and we all start over.

Of course, it would just be easier to exterminate the gibsmedats.
