Chicago's newest selective enrollment high school will not be named after President Barack Obama, as Mayor Rahm Emanuel had announced with much fanfare when unveiling the high profile school project.
In a statement this morning, Emanuel said he would look for other possible names.
“Over the last few months, my team has listened to questions and concerns from the community, ranging from location of the building to the naming of the school. We take that community input seriously, which is why – as we continue to look for a thoughtful way to honor President Obama – we will look for other possible names for this future school," Emanuel said in a statement.

amusing is my choice of words
Probably wise. "D!p$#!t High School" just wouldn't inspire educational excellence IMO.
President Bowel-Movement will not be pleased.
>> “as we continue to look for a thoughtful way to honor President Obama”
Amusing indeed. Guess they’ll be looking for some time...
” as we continue to look for a thoughtful way to honor President Obama”
I got it! The Barack Obama Chicago Municipal Golf Course.....dedicated to the thousands of inner city youths dying to play golf.
Wonder which of His aliases they were planning to use?
Oh I get it...find a high school in the suburbs with lower crime rate, lower teen pregnancy rate, lower violence, lower dropout rates etc, etc, etc...then name it Obama High (doh!!) but God forbid not in the inner city where they actually voted for his crap. Hey, the mascot could be a fairy princess — They could be the fighting princesses...unless that is offensive to princesses.
where is the “Like” button?
Sadly, a high school here in Pittsburgh was named after Obama shortly after The One was immaculated.
However, the school is NOT referred to as Obama when playing sports. In all results it is referred to as
“University Prep”.
Thus avoiding headlines such as:
Vikings Stomp Obama
Obama Destroyed by Gateway
Obama Routed at West Mifflin
etc.
Appropriate.
Reparations High School.
We can start with a tree.....Black Walnut??
Doesn’t Chicago have some unnamed bath houses?
Hussien High has a nice ring to it! And along party lines, the mascot couldbe the Jackass. But they are restricted to only fielding a golf team...
how about the sewer plant?
Because then it would be a joke.
Read my mind for the hs name !!!!!
