I agree, and they should change the name to Warren G. Harding school to honor the Republican President who was the first to have African-Americans to dinner at the White House.

I was going to suggest renaming it after Harding because he went to the Deep South as President and made a speech attacking racial discrimination. I did not know about him inviting black Americans to dinner at the White House. Teddy Roosevelt had Booker T. Washington to lunch at the White House (and got a lot of criticism for doing so, I believe).
