San Fran ought to rename all schools after George Floyd, to prove they really do care more.

My mother went to Washington HS in San Francisco. One of her fellow students was Johnny Mathis. Since he is part black, the experience there must have traumatized him terribly.

May I suggest: Tupac Skakur Elementary School, Notorious B.I.G. Elementary School, Louis Farrakhan High School, Mumia Abu Jamal School of Advanced Studies.


You are almost there with your last name. To get the contemporary flavor you need to add some words like: Tupac Shakur Academy of Excellence, Louis Farrakhan Institute of Advanced and Applied Theory, Notorious B.I.G. Center for Science and Technology. Same crappy schools with the same students, but now with longer, much more uplifting names.

When they are loading us on the trains maybe we could push back then.

Ditto Danny Glover.
And don’t forget the beautiful Washington High alumna Lee Meriwether who I don’t think is black but did once sport a black Catwoman suit on Batman.

Even here in San Diego, which is more conservative than San Fransicko, the Left wants to remove the statue of Christopher Columbus and rename Discovery Park. Without the statue “Discovery” could refer to just about anything. It could be a child discovering nature for the first time.

Can we just go by what these historical figures are most known for? If we only erected statues of morally perfect people whose views conform to our 21st century sensibilities sculptors would go out of business. When most people are asked to name one important fact about George Washington, most non-SJWs do not say, “He owned slaves” although he did.

Riot in the streets and you can get public buildings named after you. But it really doesn’t matter much what the sign on the outside may say. What counts is what’s being taught inside. And regrettably that’s not changing. At least not in the People’s Republic of San Fransicko

I’m sure the programmers of the GPS know the bad neighborhoods, but aren’t allowed to warn you. Like the readers of Pravda, you have to look for clues like “MLK Blvd” or “Black Lives Matter Avenue” or “The Eldridge Cleaver Academy of Arts and Sciences”.

Garmin (? one of the originals) did, indeed, have a setting to avoid high crime neighborhoods, but removed it as this was deemed raycist.

Lee Meriwether is my aunt’s buddy from high school. She was a couple years ahead of my mom.

Quite right. Here in Pittsburgh we have The Barack Obama Academy of International Studies. The grade 6 - 12 school is an International Baccalaureate school and was named for Pres Obama in 2009. Despite the name, enrollment at this public school has slipped, and the percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 31% (which is lower than the Pennsylvania state average of 46%) for the 2016-17 school year. The percentage of students achieving proficiency in reading/language arts is 48% (which is lower than the Pennsylvania state average of 63%) for the 2016-17 school year. Overall, Pittsburgh Obama 6-12 placed in the bottom 50% of all schools in Pennsylvania for overall test scores (math proficiency is bottom 50%, and reading proficiency is bottom 50%) for the 2016-17 school year. But the name is an excellent name, very uplifting, as you point out.

Oakland has an area called Rockridge. Maybe they could name a school after the man that saved Rockridge: Sheriff Bart Elementary School.

Oh wait, Truth be told, his mother was Dutch.

Locally, they renamed the ‘Alternative High School’ ‘The Academy’. They did this because of the bad reputation the Alternative High School and its students had. They think the problem is the name. No they don’t. They know what the problem is and cannot say it, let alone do something about it. So they change the name.
