Don’t we usually wait until people die before we name schools after them?

No but since you just made that up it must be true.

I am not aware of any named after former POTUS that are still with us. If so, then I guess not, but I always thought it was named after famous people after they passed away to honor their memory.
Didn’t mean to upset your sensibilities powerman.

Boy, that place will be a hotbed of hatred for the country and grievance politics and then the students will be unleashed on Jackson.
Yep, Jackson will be a magnet for high achievers

This really isn't a big deal and if you think it is a big deal, it is probably faux outrage.

I'm sure plenty of schools were renamed in the past to make room for all the Lincoln's and Wilson's and Robert E Lee's. That's just how it goes.

Glad they renamed the school if it makes them happy. Maybe the school can make some money selling the new branded items. Now if JPS could actually teach the kids and get them to legitimately graduate I will truely be impressed.

If Obama is smart, he'll ask them not to put his name above the school house entrance. The JPS is the worst school district in the country.

no school in the UNITED STATES should be named after Jefferson fricking Davis.
Probably right but where does this stop. In 10 years do they take the Clinton name off everything because what they did to line their pocket books finally comes to light?

While you southerners see these monuments and such as honoring your forefathers, right or wrong, the rest of the country sees these statues (and school names) as symbols of slavery.
“You Southerns”....dude why you judging us? Do you live down here? Hell have you ever been to Jackson MS?

Mississippi school honoring Jefferson Davis to be renamed after Barack Obama by slacksterquote:“Jefferson Davis, although infamous in his own right, would probably not be too happy about a diverse school promoting the education of the very individuals he fought to keep enslaved being named after him,” she told the board. Her "diversity" comment notwithstanding, she has a point. I bet Jefferson Davis would be pissed that his name is on a school with 97% black enrollment.
I don't think he would care as much as you suspect.

I'm sure they will still be flying the state flag at the school.

That’ll go over well

That’s a complete pile of flaming horse shite. Both the name change and the things name they’re changing it to. It is fitting, however, that it’s a failing school/school district. A real good (failing) representation of that muslim tranny and the 2008-2016 years. I wish that POS would be completely erased from any and every part of history. Kind of like they’re doing with monuments......
