Portland students want to rename school after Obama

PORTLAND -- Students are trying to get a Portland school renamed after President-elect Barack Obama.

Portland Public Schools was already in the process of renaming the school currently known as “Clark K-8 at Binnsmead School” and a naming committee is working on a list of suggestions that the public will eventually vote on.


But after the November election, some of the students got the idea to throw Obama’s name into the ring.



Do you think it would be appropriate to name a Portland school after President-elect Barack Obama?














A couple of people have e-mailed the school, suggesting it be named after the new American leader and Willamette Week was even reporting that students at the school were heard chanting Obama’s name one day, and filling out forms to get his name of the voting list.


No word on exactly when the official vote will happen or what other names are up for consideration.


The school is located at 2225 SE 87th Avenue, in Portland.

YES,YES,YES, About 3 weeks after he's sworn in. Now find out about naming a school after someone that is still alive. THE PERSON HAS TO BE DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take it your mad about the stamp too..:tongue:

So we need to commemorate every black man who rises from this racist white America (O wait Obama isn't black brokenheart o my god doesn’t that just break your ignorant heart, he is a halfrican!!!), thousands of people have risen from poverty to make themselves very successful. Obama is no different except for the fact that in his rise he openly affiliated himself with a known terrorists and racist Anti-American preacher. Obama is a rich Halfrican, nothing more! The rest of the world has shown us that Obama's Marxism and Biden's Socialism work really well!!!

Yea FYI I am a republican and with that said I believe that Bush is a corrupt POS and is one of if not the worst President ever!

When he fills out a census form, he checks black.
When his kids go to school and have to mark what they are, they have to check black.

Right or wrong, that is the way it is.

There was a rule that a person had to be dead to be on a stamp.

But you know, you can make your own stamps with pictures of your kids or dog...whatever on them as long as they aren't obscene. At least you could a year or so ago.

That must be a liberal program designed to undermine society and forward a radical agenda too.

Either way he is not BLACK the media is pronouncing him a Black man, I have a friend who is 1/8 black doesnt look like it at all is he black? He doesnt fill out black on any forms. The fact of the matter is he is not sure on this but 1/2 white? and half black?

One more time. If the people in the school district want to name the school after Obama that's their call. Everyone else ought to butt out.

Once again its a government funded facility! The people have little say as to what it is named, they can agree on a name change and this racist white evil republican government can say ummm NO! Thats the beauty of government

Look up the ole "one drop rule". It is getting more relaxed.
Right or wrong, that's the way it is. Hopefully, it's changing.

Again, Obama has to check black on the census form.

If the people who fund the school with their property taxes and the kids who attend the school want to change it's name to Elmer Fudd U. it's their business.

Just one more question for you then some truly "racist" town decides that they want to change the name of their school to the Brian A. Scates Memorial Highshcool?(Im sure your not aware but he was the first president of the KKK, which at one time was one of if not the largest orginazations ever in the USA.) Is this appropriate?

They named an airport after Regan and after what he did to the air traffic controllers that was not appropriate.

If the people in the neighborhood and the students want to name the school after obama or Mister Magoo it's their business and no one elses.

I agree I vote for Magoo.
