Trump, Hitler, James Earl Ray Nominated For New Elementary School Name

Trump, Hitler, James Earl Ray Nominated For New Elementary School Name

Other nominees include John Cena Elementary School, O.J. Simpson Elementary, Bleeding Heart Liberal Elementary and Schoolie McSchoolface.

True story: when I was about eight they opened a new high school in my town and decided to let the kids name it ... at least until they voted to call it Elvis Presley High. Looking back on it now, that name doesn't seem totally unacceptable, but in those days Elvis was so controversial that the Ed Sullivan producers had to film him from the waist up, and the fifties were a puritanical time, so the vote was overridden by the high sheriffs of school naming, whoever they may have been.

  1. Erwin Rommel Elementary School would have been the most closely related to the original name.

  2. That had not dawned on me, but you have a good point!
