Agreed. Emmanuel sounds like an ignorant fool to think that Midway Airport was named after the USS Midway. But since he is liberal, this gaffe will be forgotten.
If he names a school on the South Side after Obama, it will become a marker, just as Martin Luther King Blvd. is in so many places, of a failing school full of failing students and no meaningful education happening inside.
In Any City, USA, “Martin Luther King Blvd.” means “Your car had better be in excellent condition, your tires resistant to nails and broken glass, you need to hope you don’t get any red lights, and you’d better get out of here fast!”
