Remember two and a half years ago when students at a small Pennsylvania college demanded the name “Lynch” be removed from a campus building … because of its racial connotations?
An Oregon school district is following their example.
The Centennial School District in southeast Portland will be excising “Lynch” from three schools before the beginning of this school year: Lynch Meadows, Lynch Wood, and Lynch View elementary schools.
The schools were named for the family which originally had donated land for the schools over a century ago, but Superintendent Paul Coakley says “many newer families coming into the district associate the name with America’s violent racial history.”
“There were an increasing amount of questions and some complaints from families of color around the name,” Coakley said. Although “there is no connection between the Lynch family and the practice associated with the term,” he said the name has still “been a disruption for some students.”
And further, “drag” may be found offensive to some transgender-Americans.
And they say blacks have no power. Look at all the words and artifacts we have to remove from society to keep the peace. The common American culture is constantly whittled down while we are mandated to tolerate even the most vulgar aspects of black culture.

Looking closer at the Centennial school district and the Lynch named schools in particular it looks to me you are on to something.
Whites and Hispanics are the majority in the Lynch Elementary schools; Blacks make up a paltry 16% combining their three school presence. I wonder if the government human traffickers are entering the Jihadis they are importing in the white column?
A major Centennial characteristic is low income. Disability and discipline numbers exceed state average, too, the disability being heavily centered on the lack of understanding English, common I would expect in all sanctuary cities.
More proof, it looks to me, that when leftist social engineering fails they have to play the race card even when it doesn’t exist.
