San Francisco Deadheads, you might just end up having the perfect school to enroll your children in.

Jerry Garcia, the frontman of the Bay Area band that rose to fame as a part of the counterculture in the 1960s, is one of multiple figures in consideration to get a school renamed after them following the San Francisco Unified School District board’s decision Tuesday to rename 44 of their schools, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Yeah let's name a school after a drug addict who died in rehab. Good roll model.

While they’re at it they should name a school after Cheech and Chong.

Shoot up and Die!

This is perfect. Perfectly emblematic of where leftist hegemony is leading. Out with all the great heroes of the past (Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln, Spanish explorers like Balboa, historical California figures like Junipero Serra and John Muir) ... and in with stoned hippies.

[gundog]

Is it a high school.
