Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful suggestions on what the elementary school in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to be named after Lady M should be called. Unfortunately the school board has already chosen the name Michelle Obama Elementary so well have to save the Lady M Preparatory School of Fashion and Design for a later date. And Im sure you can see why MOO U was inappropriate for a grade school. Ditto MOO U2.
This name was selected by the school-site council because Michelle Obama supports active living and eating healthy, and the school models itself on that,

Because learning how to reduce your carbon footprint, if you know what I mean,
Run faster Charles, and you can reduce your carbon backside too!
and I think you do, in order to save the world is more important than understanding the laws of thermodynamics, finance and economics, right? I mean thats what computers are for, right? And not that Im profiling or anything, butt the Chinese just seem to be naturals at that stuff so we might as well let them handle all the boring stuff, right? While we make the world safe from red meat and carbon footprints?

As a showcase for healthy eating, Lady Ms new school will be dedicated to serving only locally sourced weeds and vegetables.
Locally grown tomatoes and oh look! Wild arugula!
Also, in order to mask all class distinction, the children will be required to wear uniforms; although theyll be allowed to choose which uniform they wish to adopt.

Also, since both Lady M and Big Guy are huge proponents of womens rights, and they dont want anyone punished with a baby, the Michelle Obama Elementary school will be dispensing, free of charge, Plan B pre-abortion pills in the girls lavatory.
Plan A, as always, will be continue to be available in the boys room.

All you need to know, if youre a parent of school aged children, is that our new schools will provide your kids with breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner so you no longer have to. And all the food will be delicious, healthy, meet all of the FDA daily recommended nutritional requirements and be provided free of charge!
Youre welcome. Now shut up and eat our peas.

school board has already chosen the name Michelle Obama Elementary so please butt out.
talk about a divisive school.
Wonder if they will force bus kids there to keep the numbers up when kids start transferring out?
so we just call it MOE. DIDN’T MOE HAVE BANGS TOO?
Must have been a tough choice for the LA School Board when they could also have named the school after other leftist heroes like Che Guvera, Karl Marx, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg or Margret Sanger.
Fatback U?
where every lunch is lobster and caviar?
What was it call Moocher?
“to mask all class distinction, the children will be required to wear uniforms”
My old high school—after bussing, now mostly Amish—in Prince George’s county did this, but they did it to address gang activity.
Comrades, what can we learn from this teaching of Big Sister? Yes, that Chiraq has now come to elementary schools.
Careful. It’s not wise to upset a Wookie.
Whatever happened to the idea that in the US we don’t name public buildings after living people, especially politicians? That is characteristic of third-world dictators. I think it is a dangerous way of politicizing the educational system, to name schools after a sitting president or his wife. And I’d say the same thing if it were a Republican president.
Maybe this isn’t the most serious problem facing schools, but still...
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
It works for me.
It is a symptom of a **very** serious underlying pathology.
The pathology:
Fundamentally, government K-12 schooling is a socialist and collectivist single-payer entitlement. The names of these socialist-entitlement schools have just as much NON-neutral impact on the students ( religiously, politically, and culturally) as did the name of my school: St. Joan of Arc.
It is impossible to have a religiously, politically, and culturally neutral education. Government is running, and compelling attendance at, and forcing taxpayers to pay for schools that are a NON-neutral freedom of conscience and First Amendment abomination.
