#2 since Benjamin Franklin clearly had many accomplishments that form the basis for why the school was named after him,"

So I take it you won't be naming any schools after Barack Obama...

Possibly not, but Soetorograd is undoubtedly a strong contender for the District.

#4 "I will not support a name change for Franklin since Benjamin Franklin clearly had many accomplishments that form the basis for why the school was named after him," Marshall wrote. "I don't believe this school was named after Franklin to send a signal of oppression and control."
This school is in his district. Gotta keep the proles happy.

#5 Why not just name them all after people of color?

Not one transgendered person on your list, you cisgendered bigot.

#6 Why not name them after African-American scientists and mathematicians?

#7 Actually, g(rom), if you go to Wikipedia and look for "African American Scientists", you will find quite a number of them.

Of course, I can't see the Dallas school district naming a school after Ben Carson.

#9 That's exactly what I said RiV. You're making me sound like one of these racists who think that because many African-Americans have trouble with Algebra they're not qualified to be scientists.

#12 Re #9: sorry, g(rom). I misinterpreted your comment.

I would like to see a school named after Ben Carson, actually.

#18 Do not, please, attribute to malice
The sleaze they get up to in Dallas,
Like buckaroos wooing
In lieu of lassooing
Those beeves in the precinct of Pallas.
