Signs of the times: Coming to an Obama school near you

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 24, 2008 04:12 PM

You heard about that school that has already renamed itself after The One, right?

Doug Powers has mocked up campus billboard signs for the brainwash factory. Won’t be long before these crop up in your neighborhood (head over to his site for more)…

Heh. You can have your own fun with the chalkboard sign generator. Here’s mine:

    Seems to be a little premature to designate a school in honor of someone who has yet to prove himself capable of anything other than winning an election. I wonder how many “Jimmy Carter Elementary Schools” there are out there?

    Overall Chap I agree.

    However, naming CVN 76 was a proper exception. :)

    Is there really a need for an Obama school? I guess this is the one for all of those parents that were ‘punished with a baby’.

    Maybe enrollment is expected to decline over the years…

    Of course, they need to learn how to inform on their parents for any “incorrect thinking” or environmentally criminal conduct.

    All right. Exception carved out when you are too old and sick to have much of a chance of doing anything catastrophically embarrassing.

    Probably a reasonably guideline. Though I’d also agree with the exception for the CVN 76.

    Here in NJ we have…

    The Frank R. Lautenberg Train Station in beautiful Secaucus. I’ll wager that will go the way of the Brendan Byrne Arena as it’s naming is equally ridiculous.

    Frankie secured $450 million worth of Pork for this grossly underused transfer station. Saves some commuters at most 15 mins on their 1:50 min commute to NYC.

    Naming a children’s school after one of the most pro-abortion politicians in the country is like naming a woman’s college after a serial rapist.

    Is their new mascot the punishing babies?

    I don’t know about that. Remember the little darlings singing the “Ode to Obama,” or the “young men of color” stomping and shouting how “Obama inspired me…?” Sounded demented to me.

    As an aside, I wonder where the parents of the “young men of color” were and why they didn’t inspire their children?

    Are you kidding? 99.9% of every politician in this country has crap named after themselves. They THRIVE on that crap - makes them feel important, like being a lawyer of politician itself does. Nothing but self-aggrandizing, egomaniacal BS. In my area, the current Town Supervisor has her name on every park entry sign, every garbage truck (fitting though it is), every town vehicle of any sort, as does the County Executive. There are freaking garbage cans on our streets with all the politicians names on the damned things!

    These people, and those like them (PTA members, whatever) NEED to have a title or their name on something.

    (you beat me to it)

    No homework, no tests and nothing is required of you - as long as your attendance card is marked ‘Present’.

    And speaking as a former high-school office aide, sometimes its who you know that can count you present even when you’re not there.

    As a conservative, I suprize both my conservative and liberal friends when I tell them that I greatly admired Lyndon B. Johnson as president. I know most people on both sides of the political spectrum are not too fond of LBJ. I have my reasons but my main question here is does anyone know of a LBJ high school, middle school, junior high or elementary school named after the 36th president of the USA? I live in Eastern Washington and I don’t know of any schools anywhere named after LBJ. I just wondered if any here know of any.

    Yes, bad form on the part of the school. There are standards and acceptable practices. If PE Obama had given the school money, maybe then it would have been OK.

    Then again the US Navy has rules about naming it’s ships after living people, yet it named a ship after a living person, Adm Rickover. We have rules about postage stamps. Yet, that was violated, too. I suppose rules were made to be broken.

    OH, it was that 9/11 stamp of the three fire firefighters raising the Flag.

    I am beyond disgusted by this school name change. they are changing it from being named after a man who was a physician, was the last surviving member of his college class of 1863, had helped the wounded and dying soldiers during the Civil War, had contributed greatly to the town of Hempstead, had served on the School Council for many, many years, changing it to be named after someone who has done NOTHING but basically be born and then, questionably as to where. Sorry, but Obama has done NOTHING but be born and buy and intimidate his way into the White house. Even that is in question as he has yet to prove his own residency status, and has yet to prove that he was even born in this country.

    And before the trolls start falling all over themselves, a ‘Certificate of Live Birth” is NOT the same thing as a certified Birth Certificate. He has NEVER shown that and, in fact, has gone through great pains to have it sealed, forbidding ANYONE from seeing it. Gee…that doesn’t look TOO suspicious now does it?

    Anyway, here is my take on what the blackboard will look like soon, as the School Board voted to have the change occur IMMEDIATELY.

    I can hardley wait until the “Classroom Corps” show up and drag well loved teachers and principals away to re-education camps for not teaching history or any course the correct way. One of the major entities of the marxist mantra is education. Thats why you saw Ayers and his comrades all in the teaching profession. Thats why most of our hgher education schools are crammed with liberal marxists brainwashing our kids. I know this is true because I have seen the results. They have a plan and its just beginning to see light.
