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.
Oh yeah. Lots of southerners in Detroit.
Ain’t that raycist!!!!???? Oh, democommies are doing it. Never mind.
Need you ask?
Drag queens, pedophiles and groomers. Today’s modern role models according to our school boards.
These people don’t know s*** from shinola.
This move makes me sick to my core. Gotta go puke.
‘...Superintendent Nikolai Vitti said he recommended keeping the name because 59 percent of the students who responded to a survey were opposed to a name change at the school. But he acknowledged that overall, 80 percent of the 1,500 people surveyed — alumni, students, parents, staff, and community members — said they want the school renamed Finney High. The alumni voice has been strong throughout the debate leading up to Tuesday’s vote...’
That’s racist!
“Southern Democrat lynch mobs.”
Why did you specify “Southern.”
Don’t they still teach history up there? See below.

That's why the South went conservative-Republican. The northern KKKers keep a few tokens down in the South, like lawn jockey Jimmy in South Carolina, who KKKeeps The Light On for Massa JoeTatoe.
Unreal- it just never ends. They simply cannot abide or recognize a decent law abiding moral human being
see my post #51 for the explanation. I believe you’ll enjoy it.
Ben Carson is a great American who worked his butt off to be successful .
That disqualifies him to be a role model in Detroit .
Rap stars make a lot more...as do NBA players. With hard work and dedication black kids (particularly inner city kids) have a much better chance becoming an RN or X-ray tech than they have to be a rap star or NBA player.
Advice given to inner city black kids by Dr Ben Carson would be far more useful...and realistic...than any advice they would get from Lebron James.
You have to hand it to blacks though; in the rush to the very bottom of the intelligence ladder they really know how to lead the way.
A FEW EXAMPLES:
1: MAXINE WATERS
2: AYANNA PRESSLEY
3: JIM CLYBURN
4: SHEILA JACKSON LEE
5: ILHAN OMAR
And the list just goes on and on!
Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. Not one of these petty tyrants is worthy of holding Dr Ben Carson’s surgical scrubs.
Perhaps Dr. Carson could make amends to leftists by castrating a few black children.
These ignorant SOBs probably think Carson is a white supremacist.
Agreed. But keep in mind that the pollsters probably phrased the question to be deliberately inflammatory to black parents of the school students. It matters not a whit that his wife is not white. What matters is that Dr. Carson is presented as a race traitor. Once it is established that he is a traitor to his race, then you ask, "Do you want to change the name of the school?" And, not surprisingly, you get the desired results.
