The former William McKinley High School building, which had been closed for awhile and reopened, has also undergone a “woke” name change to “Best Practices” School. Next it was renamed “Chicago Bulls Academy.”

It is all about erasing historical figures who do not fit the leftist agenda in socialist Chicago. An elementary school named after Louis Aggaziz was renamed for “Harriet Tubman” because the Swiss biologist supported the eugenics movement (so did Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood who is a heroine of the political leftists and exempt from criticism).

In all, there are plans to rename thirty Chicago Public School campuses.

The student achievement in Chicago is atrocious. But, the administrators want to make sure they are politically correct.

I’m sure it boosts the self esteem of the black students, to see schools named for famous black people. But does it help their achievement in school? Does it help the learning process?

No, he was a bad general. He was fired by Lincoln and then ran against Lincoln during the war. He was a pompous ass. And he caused the war to go on much longer than it had to because he would never pursue the southern army as it was routed. Allowing Lee time to regroup and attack again. Lee’s artillery and cavalry were separated. All McClellan had to do was to take out the unprotected cannons and Lee would never have been able to mount a full out attack again.
