Detroit’s school board has voted to remove Dr. Ben Carson’s name from a district school, citing Carson’s involvement with the Trump administration.
Benjamin Carson High School of Medicine and Science will be renamed after a poll that revealed 80% of the 1,500 people polled agreed the name should be changed. Dr. Carson told The National Desk he is not surprised by the move.
“Cancel culture is alive and well. It’s infiltrating. Political correctness, wokeness, cancel culture, this is going to destroy us as a nation if we don’t get a grip on it.”
Dr. Carson grew up in a Detroit housing project before going on to become a ground-breaking neurosurgeon. He became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the nation at the age of 33. In 1987 he led the surgical team that performed the first successful separation of conjoined twins. Carson is famed in his field for developing new surgery techniques and successfully managing some of the most difficult pediatric neurosurgery cases in the nation.
Dr. Carson was also the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Trump administration.
It is astounding that a Black man who is the epitome of the American dream – grew up in the projects and went on to become one of the most famed surgeons in the world and then work in one of the highest positions in American government – and have all his accomplishments nullified because he holds the same political beliefs as half of the country. Dr.Carson has saved the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of children over his career, and is most likely responsible for techniques that saved thousands more.
Shame on the shallow, pathetic, short-sighted narcissists on Detroit’s school board.
Nah, you’re fine.
Yep.
I’m not sure how many Sigma to the right of norm Dr. Carson is, but it’s multiple.
The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
let this be a lesson.
if you’re on the right and ANYTHING from the left pops it’s head up... chop it off (figuratively).
don’t let them have anything to point at either
“He left the plantation and married a white b***h. In view of that, brother (or sister), do you think we should rename the school?”
.... To be expected .... Carson's ESG score is too low to remain on any publicly funded facility in the US. This will soon be happening across the country as the ESG mania and the Great Reset grows
.
Unions...don’t forget the unions. Be assured there are payoffs somewhere.
This explains a lot...
Commie blacks are taking over, following the template of South Africa and zRhodesia.
Exactly. Freedom is a forgotten word.
I just know the school board is a bunch of “winners” (not).
Sad for the kids.
I suppose that Ben Carson and John James are both lucky the MI-KKK Dems didn't just lynch them.
The majority of black people hate success.
Petty little men doing petty little things.
Southern Democrat lynch mobs.
Do we know what the ostensible reason was for removing his name?
I’m trying hard to understand what vile or reprehensible actions ,,or what crime against humanity he may have committed, for them to have decided he’s no longer worthy of being honored. At one time he was worthy of being honored.
What changed?
Trump didn’t cause their hate, he just revealed it for all to see.
After, they stole the US Senate seat from John James, a black veteran, TWICE with vote fraud.
