    LI school renamed for Obama

    Like Barack Obama's campaign, the plan to rename a Hempstead school after the president-elect was "a remarkable grassroots approach," the district superintendent said Friday.

    At a meeting Thursday night, the five-member Hempstead school board voted unanimously to rename one of its schools Barack Obama Elementary School, said Superintendent Joseph Laria.

    The change was effective immediately, although the district does not have a new sign yet. The school, formerly called Ludlum Elementary School, is on William Street in Hempstead.

    School staff and students, who participated in mock presidential and vice presidential debates before the Nov. 4 election, initiated the request to rename the school, Laria said.

    I do not like situations like this in which the name of someone who actually gave to the community is replaced by political opportunism.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    You said it Richard. It is a shame to disrespect historical people and places in this manner.

    Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.

    It is a disrespect to shame historical people and places, as well.
    The flag flies at half-mast out of grief for the death of my beautiful, formerly-free America. May God have mercy on your souls.
