A group of students at Boulder High School are proposing the name of the school be changed to Barack Obama High School, as reported in the Rocky Mountain News. The student group suggesting this initiative is called the Student Workers Club, which in previous years has protested the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance due to its inclusion of "under God".
Boulder High School to become Barack Obama High School?
I have no doubt that in the future there will be plenty of things named after Barack Obama, as should be since he broke a barrier in becoming the first black President. However, I think it's a bit premature to start renaming schools after him now. First of all, it is nearly unprecendented to rename things after presidents during their administration. Second, let's give him a chance to execute on some of the changes he has promised and to really improve our country before we begin renaming everything after him. Right?
