JACKSON, Miss. - A Mississippi school is shedding the name of the Confederacy's only president and will instead be named for the first African-American president of the United States.
Davis International Baccalaureate Elementary School in Jackson was named decades ago for Jefferson Davis.
In a move proposed by parents, the school with 98 percent African-American enrollment will be renamed for Barack Obama in the next academic year. The PTA president announced the planned change at a school board meeting Tuesday.

Why 0 did nothing for blacks. All he did was stir resentment for whitey.
100+ years later they rename a school for a person that would happily enslave them.
I wonder if re-naming the school after Obummer will lessen the amount of crime that seems to cluster around I-55?
Unbelievable. The illegitimate tyrant like Obozzo will go down as one history’s greatest villains.
We are not far away from the Left making schools after Stalin and Lenin
They’ll claim they didn’t want the school to be named after a racist.
Obama?
LMAO

So, what will the south do when every school and government building is named the Barry Soetoro . . . so-and-so?
I’m seeing CWII long before that happens.
At Mississippi school: Goodbye, Confederacy. Hello, Obama, Cocaine and Weed for everyone at Choom Gang High.
Will the school have a star and crescent moon on the front of the building?
Huh. Wait till they figure out the dems oversaw the greatest genocide in history
With 54million in the us they’re overtaking stalins record
Hillary knows she’s going to be in a bad place in the history books because now her people are not going to do the writing
Obama is just hate and resentment.
But she is desperate
If it helps those kids go on to graduate from high school, go to college, become productive members of society, then I’m all for it.
But I’m not holding my breath.
My wife taught at a MS school right after getting her degree.
She thanked me when we moved elsewhere.
Well, this *is* in Jackson. Nobody should be surprised.
I wonder whether the educational performance at “Barack Hussein Elementary School” wherever that name is adopted will be comparable with the safety offered on “Martin Luther King Blvd” in the many urban areas that have that street.
How many counties fund the failed leftist gov’t that runs Jackson anyways?
It’s got to sink eventually.
It was really named for Ossie Davis!
Everyone had to know this was coming next.
At the next level, they’ll be naming sites and raising statues to cop-killers.
Totally predictable.
At least reuse some of the name and go with George Jefferson. At least George Jefferson accomplished something on his own.
Eventually they will have to make Obama an “unperson” too.
