Chicago students vying for hard-to-get spots in the city's most competitive public high schools will get a new selective enrollment high school named after President Barack Obama.

but will the black students there be willing to act white to actually benefit from an education is this allegedly selective high school?

And doesn’t the concept of being selective in admissions in a public school offend the sensibilities of liberals????

A “selective enrollment high school”?

Perfect. There is no one on God’s Green Earth who better represents selective enrollment than Barry Soetoro.

No one.

Noreen Ahmed-Ullah has been a reporter at the Chicago Tribune for the last 12 years. She has covered the Chicago Park District, written about education in the suburbs, reported on the war in Afghanistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan, and now is covering another sort of battle zone@mdash;the Chicago public schools. She started the new beat last fall just in time for the departure of Ron Huberman, the election of a new mayor, and new CPS leadership. It’s been a busy summer.

Ask me if I would hire someone proud of being at Barack Obama High School. And I don’t care what color they are.

I’m just guessing they are loaded with entitlement mentality, and think they are God’s gift.

Noreen...another foolish Caucasian woman who fell for the “short/tall, dark and oppressive muzzie male” and his “ideology of hate.” What's not to like, I ask you?
