A school in Mississippi is dropping its connection to the American Confederacy's only president, Jefferson Davis, and renaming itself after President Barack Obama.

Davis International Baccalaureate Elementary School in Jackson will be renamed Barack Obama Magnet IB following a vote.

The move, which when approved will come into force in the next academic year, was proposed by parents and approved by a majority of students, parents, faculty and staff members.

Ninety-eight percent of the students who attend the school are African-American.

They can name all the schools in Jackson whatever they want. The state is having to take them over because they are all failing in Jackson. The teachers and administration in Jackson are all affirmative action.

That is a real crime. To remove a great historical monument and replace with the worst President America has ever had is a disgrace. You should be ashamed.

Guess “Fighting Whitey’s” was out.....

Seriously, the worship of this fraud is incurable with some liberals. But then, a few of them ascribed “messiah” qualities to him.

Frighteningly enough....

What can be renamed can be renamed again.
After it is fumigated, cleaned out, and repainted, of course.

Ninety-eight percent of the students who attend the school are African-American.

Next year it will be one-hundred percent.

So they wanted to make damned sure the school was named after a racist then?

They want to name a school after a person who saw black unemployment go up, black home ownership go down, black losing jobs under him, and blacks losing their lives much more from black crime.

It sounds more like they didn't want to have the school named after the arch-slaveowner and weren't too particular about who they changed the name to.

Don’t care. I respect the southern men who fought for their idea of what was their country. They were brave and patriotic. Jefferson Davis was failed politician who sent countless better men to their deaths for a terrible, futile cause.

Yes. Replace that evil Civil War Slavemaster, Jefferson Davis,

with a new modern Slavemaster, Obama.

They are called Progressives for a reason.

I honestly do not know if the black community is that stupid, that ignorant to their past, or just like a cult who want to give their hand to the party which gives them small rations
