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.

So, 98% will attend a school named for 12.5% who took 3 years to produce a Long Form Birth Certificate.

Gee, I can’t imagine why there’s so much nonsense in America these days.

They would have done better with Maxine Waters. Perhaps.

Wonder if the school will rename itself again after the corruption in the First Blacks administration is shown — not likely.

Which is why so many White Parents send their Children to Private School in Mississippi.

Was the name Malcolm X taken? How about Martin Luther King, or is he irrelevant in today’s Black Culture?

Absolutely. The most transparent administration. Ever.

I could get a LFBC from my original birth hospital in 10 days I’m sure.

But, the pResident needed 3 years.......

Because they had to make sure all the bases were covered.

Three exits to avoid in Jackson MS if travelling through on I55 or I20 are MLK BLVD, Medgar Evars Blvd, and I would guess now, BHO Blvd

but he never went to a school that was more than 10% black.

Will they have a choom gang club? or don’t they have enough rich white kids in the school?

Stopped off of I55 once on Medgar Evars Blvd for gas at about three in the am. There was a holdup in progress. Got back in the car and ran on fumes to Vicksburg on I20

Why not just name it for Union Officer Jefferson Davis, who was with Sherman in his march to the sea.

This Davis pulled up the pontoon bridge leaving the free slaves to drown trying to cross Ebenezer Creek, or else be captured by the Confederate cavalry.

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.

Then they say they do not belong to anyone, er yea you do, it is called the rat party ,t he same arty for slavery KKK, segregation, and against civil rights. Still the blacks have not woken up who owns them.
