From the Asbury Park Press:
The century-old Bangs Avenue School — renamed for President Barack Obama just a year ago — will be closed as a neighborhood school this summer, largely because of a steep slide in the district’s total enrollment the past decade.
Bruce N. Rodman, the state-appointed monitor who oversees the district’s finances, Thursday ordered that elementary students be reassigned to the city’s two other elementary schools as of July 1…
What a gigantic absurdity – naming a school after a living, serving President! And when they named it, did they not have a clue, at all, that perhaps enrollment didn’t even justify it? How incompetent a sycophant do you have to be to name something doomed after your Dear Leader? But, it gets even more silly:
…The district plans to keep the Obama name as it uses the school building in a different way.
At the same time, the school district is applying for federal school improvement grants that could bring $2 million a year for three years to a distressed building. The funds were being sought for the Obama, middle and high schools.
They’ve named not just one but three schools after the President. For goodness sake, are we living in Stalin’s Cult of Personality? Just how many Obama schools are out there? Someone needs to drag an arts grant through liberal neighborhoods to see what turns up! Additionally, it is just so liberal that they are looking for federal grants – grants, that is, from a bankrupt government – in order to spruce up their other two efforts at being lickspittles.
You begin to wonder – do these people in any way, shape or form even feel American? Americans don’t do this sort of nonsense. We don’t name schools after men who are still in office…men who may be tossed out on their ear at the next election. I know the Europeans gave him a Nobel without Obama actually accomplishing anything, but I didn’t think that anyone who shares my citizenship would be that idiotic.
