Has anyone heard this? It is hilarious if true. We should probably just go to numbers to avoid hurting the feelings of all the over sensitive cry babies.

Donald J. Trump Elementary received the most votes, followed by Robert E. Lee Elementary. Coming in seventh with eight votes was the Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance. The highest rated serious suggestion was Russell Lee Elementary, named for a famous Austin photographer.
And yes I know the board can pick any name it wants to. I hope they pick FDR.. then as an asian american I can protest.

Prime numbers only, please. Other numbers offend me.

Default Democracy vs. Fascism

There was a contest to name the school, and the winning choice was Donald Trump.


AISD gave the people the right to choose, then took that right away from them.


It was a referendum on Democracy vs. Fascism, and Fascism won.

The Brits also didn't name their research ship "Boaty McBoatface", even though it led the polling. Very similar, imho.

'Boaty McBoatface' polar ship named after Attenborough - BBC News

By the way, it was never a 'contest to name the winner', it was simply a poll to get ideas.

Maybe AISD will rename one of the 'alternate' or delinquency schools after Trump..."Make this student Great again!"

I think it's satire, or somebody trying to show irony in a situation, or somebody just trying to prove a point. 7th place with 8 votes is the Adolph Hitler School of Tolerance. I don't believe there are 8 people in the same district who would seriously vote to name a school with the words "Adolph Hitler" as a part of the name of a school. I just don't believe it.
