A failed school in the poor-lands of Los Angeles will soon re-open as the privately-run “Barack Obama Global Preparatory School,” and that’s a good thing for Educational Choice and all that, right? No WRONG, it is an excuse for people to leave wingnutty comments on an LA real-estate blog, because what has Barack Obama ever done, anyway?
It’s all here on Curbed LA:
- Mark me down as someone who doesn’t like seeing our President’s name on a new school-Unless of course the pupils of the school are properly indoctrinated to worship Obama and his militant Socialist movement.
- I wonder if graduates of The Barack Obama Global Preparation Academy will be anti-vetted by a subservient media to run for public office on the strength of their academic “performance”, without releasing a transcript, class list, report card or allowing a peek at their college applications.
Hard not to laugh though, at some of the Obama Global Preparation curriculum. Embracing Illegals, Undocumented Today, Democrat’s Tomorrow Marketing Treasury Debt To China, America’s Biggest Export Leaders of The Future, A Salute to Castro, Chavez and Morales - Just because he is black doesn’t make him worthy of naming a school after him when he hasn’t had any great accomplishments other than trying to fulfill pushing his dream of a socialist state. He hasn’t even finished a term yet.
- I guess they won’t be teaching math at this school. As part of the school’s green initiative, textbooks will be replaced by teleprompters. Toilet leaks will be allowed to linger for more than a month, meanwhile students are to blame the janitor. The students dodged a bullet, literally; their streets could’ve been renamed after Martin Luther King Jr.

If a toilet is leaking for more than a month, that is the janitor’s fault. I don’t get it.
But but but but but I thought Property Rights and individual rights are sacred!
Oh right. Only for REAL US Americans…
“We want the school named for a really great man, Rand Paul, not some Kenya guy”.

Just because he is black doesn’t make him worthy of naming a school after him…
Just because Clarence Thomas is black doesn’t make him worthy of being on the Supreme Court.
God. So, we’re left to assume that these folks are going ballistic over the three schools named for William Henry Harrison, who barely made it a month, yes? Also?
I love Wonkette, I really do, but I can’t count the number of times I open the site, read the lead story and go, “Oh, God, what now?” This is one of those times.
Jesus. What is WRONG with these people?
This is going to be so much fun if the wingnuts go insane every time a school is named after him in the coming years. I would guess that there are going to be hundreds of them, if not more. MLK Street/Highway? Pah. I bet there will be a BHO school in every village, hamlet, town and city in the United States within about ten years. I’m going to make popcorn.
[re=587194]Litlebritdifrnt[/re]: Oh and just to add the High School Marching Band’s uniforms have to be Kenya’s national dress, naturally. Wonder what the mascot will be?
Can someone please explain this to me: Democrat’s Tomorrow Marketing Treasury Debt To China . Haven’t the Democratic and Republican administrations been selling treasury bonds to China for years?
I blame BP for all of this. They have taken the white hot Kardashian glare away from the E. Coli currently occupying the toilet that does not work. I know that E. Coli, having placed it there myself. Mebbe they got the toilet from the old 930 club.
So the one commenter has a problem with streets being named after Martin Luther King; but their opposition to Obama is not racist, no not at all.
Meanwhile, throughout the South numerous schools are named after actual America-hating traitors like Robert E Lee, people who actually committed treason, yet the teabaggers have no problem with that.
These people, they are with the funny like First Officer Spock of the Starship Enterprise was with emotions; they seem to be aware of the idea of humor, and sarcasm, and snark, just as Spock was aware of “emotions,” but just as Spock could not actually experience emotions himself, they cannot be funny. And they are trying sooooo hard, which is the only thing that is funny about them. This, this is the definition of pitiful, someone who is only capable of being funny unintentionally.
By what logic does “I guess they won’t be teaching math” have a point? Non sequitor, much?
[re=587200]Baby who ate the Dingo[/re]: Sorry, got distracted. Did you say something about hot Kardashians?
[re=587181]The Rural Juror[/re]:
That comment was left by Joe the Plumber.
[re=587199]slavojzizek[/re]: Comma fail, its “illegal immigrants today, democrats tomorrow,” and then the next course is “marketing treasury debt to China.” Illiteracy and home-schooling, perfect together.
[re=587192]proudgrampa[/re]:
Two things are wrong with them, real estate and LA.
[re=587191]Katydid[/re]: Agreed. These fall under the category: “Wingnuts furious about…”
[re=587191]Katydid[/re]: It is rather exhausting, no?
Socialism?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
And I love the fact that they’re all griping about how he hasn’t even been in office for two years, (what?, I know), yet they’ve labeled him the worst president ever. Wingtards simply cold rock at projecting.
I assume this is a madrassa?
[re=587211]AggieDemocrat[/re]: Stop trying to confuse the matter with your fancy “definitions” and such.
I guess they would go along with this if it was the Barrack Hussain Obama School?
[re=587211]AggieDemocrat[/re]: To wingnuts, Socialism means to the left of Boss Limbaugh.
They are just pissed because according to their god, Rand Paul, they should be able to discriminate against whitey. Private business & all, right?
[re=587202]JMP[/re]: Every city has a Martin Luther King Blvd., but only where we keep the black people.
I think there was a George W. Bush Preparatory School being built somewhere in the Texas Hill Country, but the construction money was converted to unmarked $20 bills and shipped to the Blackwater Fortress in the Grand Cayman Islands and the ground that was to be broken was instead irradiated with depleted uranium and salted for good measure.
needs moar home scholing.
Now what would really be funny:
George Bush Center Of Higher Education
Hahaha..get it??
Cause’ George Bush put the id in stupid.
Hi, I’m applying for the job and I graduated from Bush..
Oh Yea???
You are so not fucking hired, you should have attended Barak Obama Academy, you fucking retard.
As Bill Hicks said, this is just another shot by these racist pigs to “keep darky down”. Heaven forbid a positive role model have a school named after him. These people would fully support a school named the Suge Knight shooting and stealing school.
Say, aren’t these the same folks who orgasm naming shit after Alzheimers patient Ronnie Raygun?
YEAH! WELL WHAT ABOUT RONALD REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT? WHAT ABOUT THAT? A BUNCH OF CONSERVATIVE CLOWNS RENAMED MY NATIONAL AIRPORT AFTER RONALD REAGAN BECAUSE IT’S MORNING IN AMERICA OR SOMETHING!!1! ALSO!
[re=587252]libwakman[/re]: One day while driving up the GW Parkway past the exit for the CIA my daughter saw the sign “George Bush Center for Intelligence.” Being to young to remember the first George Bush she thought it was named for George II. She noted, “What and oxymoron! That’s really funny.”
The should name the school the “Barack Obama Regional Institute for Nerds and Geeks.” Get it? Get it?
[re=587181]The Rural Juror[/re]: ha ha ha fanned
I thought we had agreed as a nation not to name anything after this President, pretend he doesn’t exist, and call the school “McCain/Palin High” while fapping to our Reagan posters.
According to the comments, Barry never graduated high school? Papers Pleez!
We have a Barbara Bush Elementary School here in Houston. What has she ever done, besides birthing the disaster that was Dubya?
[re=587202]JMP[/re]: I graduated from Robert E. Lee High School. We displayed the Confederate flag at sporting events. Back then, apparently, no one thought that was incorrect. That was a lonnngggg time ago.
The school should be named after Strom Thurmond. He had intimitate, intimitate knowledge of black people.
[re=587197]Litlebritdifrnt[/re]: the screaming albinos
HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE BE READING THIS WHEN GARY COLEMAN HAS SUFFERED AN INTERRACIAL HEMMORAGE? OMG OMG OMG!
These clowns make me wish half of the “militant socialist” crap was true just so they would be herded to the death camps and I would no longer have to see their stupidity.
[re=587372]S.Luggo[/re]: http://www.edgefield.k12.sc.us/sths/ Home of the Fighting Rebels. I kid you not.
This is in L.A.? Then I call it progress, given that it’s certainly an improvement over the last educational institution they tried to name for a celebrity:
http://articles.latimes.com/1986-02-02/news/cb-3755_1_day-care-center
[re=587211]AggieDemocrat[/re]: Inconceivable!
Global Preparation Academy=Indoctrination and Re-education Center
Who gives a toss what happens in the barely-on-the-map village of Los Angeles, Kenya? I mean it’s th–wait (hand to the microphone) — inaudible — Los Angeles AMERICA?!?
[re=587181]The Rural Juror[/re]: Bullshit. You have to blame it on whoever the building is named for. Fuck you, Casimir Pulaski. Fuck you and the horse you ironically rode in on. If you’d taken better care of the plumbing, I’d still have my balls after the cherry bomb went off one floor down. Fucking Pollock.
Any guesses the percentage of those people who think Reagan should be on Mount Rushmore?
I think Barack Hussein Obama International Airport sounds much classier than either Newark or LAX. And I-80 is so boring it’s not even a name, The Obama Expressway has a much nicer ring. And we could just put that whole Denali/McKinley question behind us forever. And when they finally get a building built on the sacred soil of 9 (never forget!) 11, whatcha gonna call it? Obama Towers, baby.
Sarah Palin Alternative School
A Christian-centered education for poorly brought-up pregnant girls who don’t plan to finish anything but use their problems to gain pity.
[re=587579]gurukalehuru[/re]: We also have George (HW) Bush Airport in Houston. Basically, you can’t take a step without falling into something named after that crapfest of a family. The only accomplishment I can think of for George H. W. Bush is vomiting on some Japanese dignitary. Keep it classy, Bushes!
[re=587181]The Rural Juror[/re]: that was EXACTLY my first thought too.
At least SoCal had the good sense to rename the Richard M. Nixon Freeway to Marina Freeway about 20 minutes after it opened.
Goddess, help. In Dallas, we also have a Barbara Bush Elementary School, and every day I drive to work on the George Bush Turnpike. The George W. Bush Presidential…Library (*choke* I know, I know, but that’s what they’re insisting on calling it) will be right down the street from my office. But a charter school named after our current President is yet another sign of the encroachment of socialist indoctrination? The hypocrisy and stupidity…they burn.
[re=587203]Prommie[/re]: Well ya know because only Real ‘Merikan schools like Liberty U teach math and science. Oh and that particular uh, I guess joke was aimed at Obama because apparently now Rush Limbaugh and not the CBO can handle objective cost assesments for the health bill. Because it would be the worst thing in the history of the universe, ever for tax dollars going to help people who cannot afford insurance go and see a doctor. Them’s taxe dollars is ‘posed to be fer more plains were don’t need and moar wars, not helpin’ lazy negroes (yes the whole opposition to healthcare really is this overwhelming fear that only blacks and browns will get help and therefore as “birth of a nation” shows they’ll be marrying white christian daughters and taking government positions. In other words it’s just the same kind of white, wingnut fear and revulsion that led to growth of the KKK. Also.
Well I just went over and gave those wingnuts a real what for. Of course I didn’t feel like registering at that lamer site (I’m aware of the irony, in fact I love it) so my comments are all under “anonymous” and are hard to see. Why does that site hide anonymous comments and thereby extention, hate Trig?
Those LA Obamaists blew it; is anyone surprised? They will probably dispense condoms and medical marijuana, too. What about the Vice President Dan Quayle Learning Center in Indiana (a very American state by the way)? Could have invested money in the VPDQLC and had themselves a west coast branch of a real school. Makes me so mad!
