"“Someone back in the United States, if they know that they’re coming to Wiesbaden, they may want to try and look up Wiesbaden High School not knowing that it’s called H.H. Arnold,” he said. That school is named for the aviation pioneer and founding father of the U.S. Air Force.

“This is just to make it easier to identify exactly where that school is at.” "

You gotta wonder if this is indeed bureacratism run amok (a fixed aspect of DOD and DODDS) or if there is some perverse agenda behind it.

I am inclined to believe that a dodds person in power simply got tired of having to ask where xxx HS was, and used their position to push this through. When in doubt, petty motives are always a good guess.

It's just a cover story for political correctness. Note that the seventh-grader recognized this right away:

"More people of different heritages might feel more welcome now, not like they have to feel like they’re just American”

No contractor ever lost money by underestimating the idiocy of the ordinary DoDDS administrator. Yeah, as a former D oDDS employee, It think it highly possible that this is some brainstorm coming from some idea with nothing better to do. BTW, Ramstein has generally been called RHS since it opened more than 20 years ago.

Indeed, my daughter is currently in a DODDS American High School, and the nonsense from Kaiserslautern is mind bogling.

Hey, Google Wiesbaden High School. The very first hit is H. H. Arnold High School.

I suppose deep down the DODDS administrators know that they are raising people who don't have the sense to trust the first hit on Google.
