This is idiotic even for Harlandale. No one, not even the unintelligent, would name a school for the nickname of a person. They would have named it for the last name, hence Jackson-Fenley School. Of course, then all of those who thought it was named for Jesse Jackson might have been upset, but you can't please everyone.

What's wrong with Flanders?

In Flanders Fields - a poem by Dr. John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
