A Richmond, Virginia, elementary school will switch its name from that of a Confederate general to that of the nation's first black President.
On Monday, the Richmond school board voted to rename J.E.B. Stuart Elementary as Barack Obama Elementary School.
Members of the school's community submitted ideas for a new name and students at the Richmond school, which is 95% African-American, voted among seven choices. The top three finalists were: Barack Obama, Northside and Wishtree.
Last year, a school board in Mississippi dropped the name Jefferson Davis, for the president of the Confederacy, in favor of naming an elementary school after America's 44th president.
Also on Monday, the Tulsa, Oklahoma, school board voted to rename Columbus and Chouteau elementary schools, but delayed the vote on what to call another elementary school that is named for Confederate general Robert E. Lee.

This insanity has risen to the point of child abuse.
The hysterical insane, ignorant JWs have gone too far.
More later...
All this as the result of tolerating a metaphorical African Pygmy??
Seriously?
‘Will this stain on America ever go away?’
wait till they rename William & Mary ‘Barack & Michelle’...
Let them name their school after a loser, progressive, usurper president.
Obama was half-white and didn't do diddly for blacks in this country while he was president, except encourage Black Lives Matter to disrupt society and kill cops.
They should have named the school after Trump since he has brought black unemployment to the lowest level in our history.
Then what was the other northern Virginia school named after J.E.B. Stuart that they voted to rename and set up a fundraiser to pay for the name change? I know I remember that story.
That's gonna go over like a lead balloon.
I think that was in Northern VA.
All of this a result of BOTH parties violating the Constitution!
But it will.help the self esteem of the black students, to attend a school named after Obama........
Sarcasm
>>In America we do not name things after living people.
They need to fix that.<<
My first Internet LOL of the day! :)
Fairfax County, maybe.
And each student will be issued with his own teleprompter. Assuming they can be taught to read.
Someone needs to preserve his name as his legacy disintegrates.
Pupils are not taught the truth or really anything about the presidency:

Steve Dunham Elementary School
No wait, there is always hope.
The school is 95% black? They’d better buss in some white kids fast!
And they’ll still emerge illiterate.
Pretty soon every school in America will be named after Obama.
Yeah, well, I forgot it doesn’t apply to Ku Klux Klan Grand Kleagals...
...and besides being America’s #1 gun salesman, I bet he also recruited more Klansmen that Robert Byrd!
They adopted the name of someone who hates this country, posed as a heterosexual Christian, who brought anti-American m*slims into the White House, who gave our money to jihadis, who pardoned traitors, and who did all he could to turn this country m*slim.
