A member of the Charlottesville School Board is proposing that a framed picture of President Barack Obama be placed in all of the city’s public schools, as well as the division’s central office.
None of Juandiego Wade’s colleagues was quick to jump on board with his proposal at Thursday’s meeting, nor did any members dismiss it.
Wade insisted that if the proposal were approved, he’d raise the money for the pictures and frames — which he believes can be obtained for free or very little money — through a private fundraising campaign.
“It would be no cost to the school system,” Wade said after the meeting, noting that Obama is an inspirational figure to students and faculty.
Board Chairman Ned Michie echoed thenotion that, “there’s no question that he’s an inspiring [person],” adding, however, that if a picture were hung of Obama, the same honor would have to be given to future presidents.
School Board member Colette Blount shared the sentiment.
“I think it sets a precedent,” Blount said.
The board agreed to further discuss the proposal at a later date.

It’s things like this that make me glad I am leaving Charlottesville in less than a week.
Though, I’m returning home to Northern Virginia...ughhh.
Very inspiring.
So, let’s see, there’s not enough money for American Flags but we can stick a photo of Maobama in every classroom? What the heck is that?
I am surprised that this has not happened before now. The President of the United States should be in schools. I see his mug everyday when I walk in my command...
Uncle Adolf had his picture up everywhere in Germany back in the 30s and 40s. Why should this dictator be treated any differently?
Here in the U.S.A. we're not into idol worship.
But wait, isn’t putting The Messiah’s photos in schools a violation the left’s beloved “separation of church and state””?
Juandiego ought to be more concerned about legally changing his name.
In every classroom his picture replaces the flag!
“I pledged allegiance to the Kenyan with iberty and justice not at all
I wonder what the reception to the idea would have been four years ago?
I hear ya.
NEA
ok
we had little kids singing the praises for bozo before the election
we have now had their messiah threaten folks who oppose him.
he has mentioned bringing guns
they have sent paid thugs out to beat people up who oppose this bill
we had black racist with weapons outside polling booths
we had an election with so much fraud our election looked to be a third world country.
Now they want pictures in every room
and then they say they are not NAZI’s
astounding
Saddam Hussein also liked having posters of himself everywhere.
we need billboards in every street corner praising the maximum leader! We need a ‘Forward with Obama’ daily newspaper like Stalin and Lenin did! We must have his picture and shrine on the walls of every home like in North Korea.
Juandiego Wade’s ?
this would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic
Joker anyone?
Does anyone remember the flap when the teacher put the pictures of President Bush up on her bulletin board? I do. Maybe the MSM doesn’t....
Maybe the photos will be spit wad magnets. ;-)
only to yer average school board social engineer
