PORTLAND -- Students are trying to get a Portland school renamed after President-elect Barack Obama.
Portland Public Schools was already in the process of renaming the school currently known as “Clark K-8 at Binnsmead School” and a naming committee is working on a list of suggestions that the public will eventually vote on.
But after the November election, some of the students go the idea to throw Obama’s name into the ring.
A couple of people have e-mailed the school, suggesting it be named after the new American leader and Willamette Week was even reporting that students at the school were heard chanting Obama’s name one day, and filling out forms to get his name of the voting list.
No word on exactly when the official vote will happen or what other names are up for consideration.
The school is located at 1231 SE 92nd Ave, in Portland.
So they want to name the school “The Evil One”?
“Screw U”
As I mentioned in a previous thread......naming a building after someone is usually reserved for dead people.
Unless it’s Dear Leader
That’s it. I quit.
‘Pals Around with Terrorists’ K-8
Make a time capsule of this moment and every year, make the kids dig it up and review it.
They are about to learn what Socialism is about in the school of hard knocks.

Voting at the site does not work unless your are registered. I'm sorry
or 57 States K-8
Did students at the school write this article? It should be named after Huck Fin's river buddy if that be da case. I suspect this is just a case of illiterate reporters and editors. It's not the kid's fault.

Barry Mohammed Hussein Soetero Jr. High??
Now don't forget K-8. Tagline, "Indoctinating your children in US bashing and Marxism"
I really don’t get this push to name everything after Obama before he has even done anything. How about we wait until we see how he turns out as President?
K-8 huh? I wonder where they got the goofy idea to name it after Obama bin Biden? I know their dumbass “teachers” wouldn’t instigate anything like that would they?
