See the full list of names submitted at the link. Interesting that it is categorized by gender (but no confused gender) and race. Haha, this from uber lib Austin.

[Cicero]

Yeah. Trump got the most nominations, so naturally the lying lib reporter coupled his name with Hitler.

[Huskrrrr]

Michelle Lunch Menu Elementary, probably didn’t get many votes.

Why do people slam Trump by tying his name with Hitler? Is it just stupidity or what?

KKK endorses Hillary Clinton

A Grand Dragon of the California Klan claims to have raised about $20K for her campaign.

From Vocativ:

A prominent Ku Klux Klan leader says that the group has raised thousands of dollars for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and that the Klan is officially endorsing the Democratic frontrunner for president—a claim the Clinton campaign vigorously denies.

Shortly after setting a giant cross on fire with dozens of other members of various white nationalist groups in Georgia on Saturday, Will Quigg, a Grand Dragon in a California branch of the KKK, sat down with Vocativ—which was there for a larger reporting trip about the modern state of the hate group—to talk about the 2016 election. According to Quigg, “For the KKK, Clinton is our choice.”

“She is friends with the Klan,” Quigg said.

I really, really despised them.

[Billthedrill]

I suppose Stonewall Jackson isn’t even in the running, more’s the pity.

[ExTxMarine]

You know WHY this is happening, even in the San Francisco of South, UBER LIB UTOPIA, Austin, Texas?

Because even libs know that this hiding of history or destroying a good man’s name 100 years after he is dead, is WRONG!!

Trump got the most nominations.

It's a mini GOP Convention. Notice, too, the administration is bringing in security for the decision.

[Sans-Culotte]

There are lots of heroes of the left who could be selected for the new name:

Karl Marx

Che Guevara

Julius & Ethel Rosenberg

Alger Hiss

Daniel Ellsburg

Angela Davis

Mumia Abu Jamal

Vidkun Quisling

I'm sure they'll come up with someone appropriate.

[Faith Presses On]

Interesting but even more so, hypocritical and schizophrenic.

[mkjessup]

C'mon, y'all. This is Texas!

All the more reason to name the school "Paul Reuben Elementary"

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fashy McFascist Elementary.

[IronJack]

Hypothetical Perfect Person Memorial Elementary

I like it.
