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.

Should have named it after the 1st tranny!
He’s not my fav but I’m grateful for his folly
No. I was still outside and could see what was going down inside. It didn’t involve me. I got back in the car and calmly drove to the nearby entrance ramp thinking Vicksburg is only about twenty five miles away.
so true
Bush's college records were leaked by somebody at the college. Bush figured he might as well have them officially released.
Kerry's college transcripts were part of the military files. McCain's ranking at Annapolis was a matter of public record.
President Trump released his college records.
We know what President Trump studied and that he graduated, but we haven't seen his college transcript.
But generally politicians don't release their college grades. Why would they? They have nothing to gain from it and much to lose. There's even less incentive for a politician who's left office to reveal his college record.
What would Obama's transcripts show? That he got so-so grades, some good, some bad? That he wasn't a genius and wasn't an idiot?
If you really think he got a degree without doing any work, he probably won't have any trouble coming up with a fake transcript. That can't be any harder than getting a degree without attending classes or doing the work.
That's an interesting question. The biggest planters, Whigs in the Delta, weren't enthusiastic for secession. Smaller planters and those wanting to become slaveowners were more passionate. Davis was definitely a planter, but definitely for secession.
Was Obama born the same natural kind?
I’d sooner name a school after Bozo the Clown than either of those guys.

Jackson might as well rename itself as “New Africa”.
x: "...The biggest planters, Whigs in the Delta, weren't enthusiastic for secession.

Obviously depends somewhat on your definitions of "Planters" and "middle class".
But South Carolina lead the secession movement and South Carolina was ruled by its wealthiest Planter class.
More important, dividing lines between Southern secessionist majority and Unionist majority regions were not a matter of the number of "middle class" versus "Planters", but rather, simply the % number of slaves.
The higher percent of slaves, the more secessionists and visa versa, the lower percent of slaves (i.e., Western Virginia), the greater percent of Southern Unionists.
This is the second time in recent days I've seen an overt defense of racism on Free Republic, and since the first was even more obliquely stated than this one, I let it go, unchallenged.
But now have seen two and if they go unremarked on, we can be certain there'll be more, and they'll be more explicit.
In half a dozen posts here bushpilot2 argues that "natural born" citizens were originally intended to be only free whites, and here states that when freed blacks were added in 1870 "that was truly treasonous.".
Of course, that's a big lie of the worst kind and tells us that bushpilot2 is not a good person at heart.
In fact, the 1870 law bushpilot2 draws our attention to was made 100% constitutional by the 13th (1865), 14th (1868) & 15th (1870) amendments.
These amendments were passed in response to real treason of Confederates in declaring & waging war against the United States:
As for what created the current multi-cultural conditions, that was Teddy Kennedy's 1965 Immigration Act.
Of course, being a Democrat, Kennedy only did what Democrats by nature naturally do: he lied and lied & lied some more.
