I know the Jefferson Parish school system has been a joke for several years, but their attempts at reform and pandering to the ignorant continue.

Henry Ford and Theodore Roosevelt are out.

Emmet Gilbert and Tom Benson are in.

Tom Benson


How are people so quick to forget that he tried to steal the Saints and move them to TX? Guy tried to frick New Orleans at its weakest moment and it took the NFL to stop him.

Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. Maybe they should change the name of the parish, too.

from now on all schools in america must be only named after dinosaurs or plants

maybe that would be exempt from snowflake melting, but im sure dinosaurs are somehow racist they just need to explain how

Yes, because there is obviously no reason at all that Henry Ford should be the name.

I mean, why should a white guy that basically revolutionized the vehicle industry have any sort of recognition?

Roosevelt became a shite show when they redrew the lines so that the nice area of kenner sent their kids to Adams and the hood sent their kids to Roosevelt. Rather than blend, they went mostly low income.
Less parental involvement and inept Sandy Denspolis never lifted a finger to help the school.

The name change is to forget how bad Roosevelt had become.

Lest get this out of the way. The real travesty is that New Orleans does not have a. "Flavor Flav Middle School"

What would the mascot be?
