Lynch elementary schools will lose the 'Lynch' due to racial implications (Portland, Oregon)
The Oregonian ^ | July 21, 2017 | Janaki Chadha

Posted on 07/22/2017 9:15:45 AM PDT by EveningStar

The national movement to change racially offensive names of buildings, sports teams and landmarks will soon touch a group of schools in southeast Portland. Lynch Meadows, Lynch Wood and Lynch View elementary schools will shed their "Lynch" before the upcoming school year in response to growing concern about the word's racial connotations.

The schools, part of the Centennial School District, were named for the Lynch family, which donated land over a century ago to build the first of the schools. But Centennial Superintendent Paul Coakley says many newer families coming into the district associate the name with America's violent racial history.

These people have gone beyond the hilarious. They are dangerous!
 
It takes a village to run take over an asylum?
 
psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "

The many homophones in the English language must drive them batty.

That would be a genuine case of "homo-phobia"!

If they just change it all to “First African American Woman Attorney General Loretta Lynch” it would be fine.

Just when we thought the leftist insanity has peaked another bunch of libtards comes along to prove us wrong again.

They passed by the fiction of “1984” long ago.

Banning books, banning words, banning speeches, banning Jesus, banning people from social media for their beliefs.

Destroying historic statues and monuments, renaming buildings, streets and parks.

They are The American Taliban.

Next week the word ‘rope” will be banned.
The terms ‘line’ and ‘string’ are approved replacements.
Those with the surname Roper are advised to legally change their name to ‘Liner’ or ‘Stringer’.

The following week the word ‘noose’ will be banned.
The approved replacement term is “a loop in a piece of string”

The third week the word ‘moose’ will be banned because it sounds too much like you-know-what.

Does this mean Loretta will have to change her name before she enters the witness protection program?

Well no, Lynch is a perfectly appropriate name for a Democrat...given their history...

“I once worked with someone with the last name “Hooker”.”

I have read that the use of the word “hooker” to mean “naughty lady of the evening” began in the War Between the States with General Hooker, who took steps to stem a VD epidemic.

40 miles from the coast is about right.

I consider the west coast everything within 200 miles of the coast or everything in the Pacific Time Zone. I'd guess starting at 40 miles inland to about 120 inland are where most of the conservatives are located on the west coast.
