Bam! Jersey City school to get Obama name after all
The Jersey Journal ^ | September 16, 2016

Facing a crowd of about 100 people in support of renaming School 34 in honor of President Obama, the Jersey City school board last night reversed its opposition to the move and advanced a measure approving of the name change.

"We did it and we did it TOGETHER!" Assemblywoman Angela McKnight, who led the effort to name the Kennedy Boulevard school after the president, wrote on Facebook last night after the vote. If the renaming is formalized next month as expected, Obama would be the second president whose name graces a Jersey City school. Lincoln High School is named for the nation's 16th president.

No one thinks this will mean anything to the children who attend. Will BHO even visit ?

symbolism over substance from city where JCEA slogan is "First in Quality Education" depends upon what your definition of any of those four words might actually be.

I read a lot of the comments left by the Joisey folk at the original site. They mostly sounded like drooling idiots barely able to recite Odungo’s name and chief propaganda points. They had obviously been trained to blame BUSH for all government ills, even though he’s been out of office for nearly 8 years and this traitorous collection of pathogens has been in charge. I was highly unimpressed with the intellectual abilities of that school’s administration (”If it’s black, it’s good”) or most of the commentors. Truly a morass of dummytude.

Once PRESIDENT TRUMP oks charter schools and private schools for tax credits, BHO School #34 will be emptied.

In the unlikely event that this was not obvious from the name change to honor a failed communist, School 34 is the very lowest ranked school in Jersey City (against mostly weak competition), ranking 4 points below the second worst school, and twelve points below the district average.

“the school grade is a raw score of data and the sum of the ratings for all indicators within each core element on the School Self-Assessment. The maximum total score for a school is 78 points. The school district’s grade is an average of the total scores of all schools in the school district. School Grade 52 District Grade 64”

What is this “Bam!” garbage? I take it as, “Yes, I’m a biased reporter. It’s being named after our king and if you don’t like it, IN YOUR FACE.”

There can’t be anyone proud of the school, but certainly many are proud it will be named after BHO .
The slogan “First in Quality Education” needs an asterisk * Your results will necessarily vary. “Just words”

A school destined to become the most expensive with the poorest success rate in the state.

Why? Not accomplishment. One reason: skin color.
