Just a suggestion to all of you Obamabots with the power to name things – you know - like schools. You may want to wait until you know the president is a success before you go and name stuff after him. Otherwise you may end up looking silly.
Via Jammie Wearing Fool, some American schools are taking on the name of Barack Obama.
Here’s one way to hail the chief.
Schools named in honor of President Obama are popping up with increasing frequency these days — with two city and two New Jersey charter schools leading the way.
Among the more than 20 charter school applications received by the city this year, two were inspired by the nation’s headmaster: the Barack Obama Community Charter School in Staten Island and the Yes We Can Academy in The Bronx.
Both elementary schools are hoping to open in September 2010.
“It seems entirely appropriate that a president who’s taking the concept of charter schools to the next level should have his name appear on some of these schools,” said Joe Williams, director of Democrats for Education Reform.
Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan have backed innovations such as charter schools.
As for Arne Duncan, let’s hope for the kids’ sake Arne Duncan has no involvement in their education. His track record isn’t so stellar.
