I think it’s kind of funny that they renamed it after the only appointed governor in Louisiana history. Pinchback, a black man, was appointed during reconstruction, and was a part of the carpetbagger movement.

From Wiki
A Republican, Pinchback served as the 24th Governor of Louisiana from December 9, 1872, to January 13, 1873.
He became the acting Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana upon the death of Oscar Dunn in 1871 and briefly served as Governor of Louisiana after Henry C. Warmoth was suspended from office.

I wish these schools would focus on what matters-improving reading and math levels and not meaningless stuff like this.

Me and Slackster so far. I've lived in Louisiana 40 of my 42 years and have never heard that name before in my life.

Yeah
From Wiki
After the contested 1872 Louisiana gubernatorial election, Republican legislators elected Pinchback to the United States Senate. Due to the controversy over the 1872 elections in the state, which were challenged by white Democrats, Pinchback was never seated in Congress.
Pinchback served as a delegate to the 1879 Louisiana constitutional convention, where he helped gain support for the founding of Southern University. In a Republican federal appointment, he served as the surveyor of US customs of New Orleans from 1882 to 1885.
Later he worked with other leading men of color to challenge the segregation of Louisiana's public transportation system, leading to the Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson.
To escape increasing racial oppression, he moved with his family to Washington, D.C. in 1892, where they were among the elite people of color. He died there in 1921.
Pinchback was the only African American to serve as governor of a U.S. state until L. Douglas Wilder became governor of Virginia in 1990.

The recommendations are: Louisiana Magnet High School, Liberty Magnet High School, and P.B.S. Pinchback Magnet High School.
Pinchback became governor of Louisiana during Reconstruction and was the first Black governor of a state in the nation.
The top vote-getter was Liberty Magnet High School.
The proposed names now go to Superintendent Warren Drake and a final vote Thursday by the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, which can pick any name it chooses.

Nope. It’s gonna be PBS Magnet High School. Their mascot is gonna be The Pinchbacks.

Gravy wont be happy that he was Republican Governor.
He was put in place during the reconstruction period after the Civil War.
