Note the multicultural drivel here:

“I think that is acceptable. More people of different heritages might feel more welcome now, not like they have to feel like they’re just American,” said the seventh-grader, who has a mixed heritage of Japanese, Puerto Rican, black and white."

My kids have been in DoDDs schools around the world and this attitude not only is imbecelic it fails reflect pride and basic education of the contributions of America ...like democracy and freedoms...such that one would not be ashamed to refer to it. No, we would rather be humble and wimpering and shy and shameful about identifying ourselves as an American school.


All of the Armed Forces community services and installation web sites have the names of the schools and the links to their web sites readily assessible. This is a nonsense excuse.

I would tell DoDDS if they want to drop A"merican School" from their name then they can drop my tax dollars from subsidizing it...

Write your Congressman; this DoDDS administrator is reeking of PC ideology and I won't put up with it.

I think I found out why this is. Read this message. It says that DODDS-Europe will expand the list of eligible children for tuition-free space-guaranteed enrollment to "include the children of full-time local hires who work for the U.S. government in Europe." On other words locals hired to work for the U.S. government will now be allowed free space and tuition in DODDS schools as long as they are U.S. citizens. They don't want to offend them by having them attend an "American" named school!

Bring em home. No dependents outside CONUS. Seems they've developed "Stockholm syndrome".
