Potential New Names for an Elementary School

(Photo via Jenny Pancakes)

Robert E. Lee Elementary School in Austin, Texas is named after the famous Confederate general with that name. As the Confederate States of America was founded for the explicit purpose of preserving slavery, many people think that it is inappropriate to keep Lee Elementary's name. The school board has voted to rename the school and has asked the public for suggestions.

Among the potential new names are Donald J. Trump Elementary, Harper Lee Elementary, and Schoolie McSchoolface--a reference to the British ship that was to be named Boaty McBoatface.

Although kids today won't get it, I like "Roosevelt Franklin? Ahhhhhh! Elementary Schoooool."

I imagine he had a beef with his construction company or the people having the house built. No contractor would actually be so foolish and if he was, then he would have gone out of business long ago.

I know a lot of "contractors" who go out of business after their first project. The bad part is that those "first projects" still cost someone their life savings.

Josh - did you click the link?

I kind of like the literalness of it. But I definitely wouldn't like it if that wasn't what I ordered.

This was not a mistake, it is "art" - there is a link somewhere which explains it all.

I did a search before I posted this entry and didn't find it.

Maybe I missed something?

This blog is so dumb; the blogger should be 'put to sleep.'

I saw this a couple of months ago. I thought it was on Neatorama before, too.

It may have been on a site that another Neatorama link went to, but that's iffy.

I am an architect so everyone and their dog has sent this to me. The detail bubble (the circle with the numbers in it) was photo shopped on to the step, the first version of this I saw didn't have that lovely feature.

Interesting, thanks for the info Josh!

You never know with photos these days...

You can't say you NEVER know. Just go by the rule of thumb. If it's being distributed on the Internet, and it seems outlandish, bizarre, or even highly improbable, it probably is.

Why, yes! It was on Neato a while ago. Duplications happen, don't worry about it, Smidigt!

Ah, it was a link on another domain - that's why it didn't show up in my search results.

Ok, thanks!
