Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance
That's some Zoolander quality naming right there.
Agreed. I’d also totally vote for The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.
I too would vote for that
I'll vote for it if they make it at least 3 times bigger. How are children expected to learn how to read and do other stuff good too if they can't even fit inside the building?
Zoolander? Did you want to say Ponylander?
EDIT: for context her name is Aryanne and she is ponification of that certain artist named Adolf.
Literally everyone of these is better than Robert E. Lee Elementary
Isn't he the guy who liked to fuck his horse?
Yep, the one who said he sided with the confederacy because "he couldn't bring himself to fight against family" despite the fact a bunch of his family was fighting against the confederates
Wasn't he the one famously quoted saying "never fight uphill, me boys"?
I thought that was Obi-Wan Kenobi
You know that Hitler was not only a famous painter, surely? I know it's not a competition, but I've heard the guy has done some fairly bad things
Also I would argue that he was famously not a famous painter
Why did no one nominate Robert Eleementary School to begin with? I'm certain that Robert E. Lee would be happy with that name.
Because Robert Lee was a Confederate general in the US civil war
Robert E. Lee, and several of his commanding generals, specifically said that no one should ever commemorate their names or visages. That means no statues, or places named for them. They recognized that they were traitors.
Woodrow Wilson didn't give a fuck about dead men's wishes.
I'm not american so dont really know much about its significance.
Still would agree that it was a missed opportunity to not call it Eleementary way back when it was named.
The Confederacy seceded to protect their right to own slaves, and soldiers on the side of the Confederacy killed and died to protect their right to own slaves.
Not the kind of people we should be honoring by building statues and naming schools for them.
So, changing it to Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance would be about the same
Cause we wouldnt want this person to be happy?
He would have been happier to have nothing named for him and no statues erected. Apparently Woodrow "Author of Southern Revisionism" Wilson didn't give even half a fuck about the dead man's wishes. Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and a bunch of the other generals all specifically said that no monuments or commemorations should be erected to honor them, as they recognized they were traitors.
Wilson is the one that refounded the KKK, helped fund the filming of Birth of a Nation, showed said travesty of a movie at The White House, used his Yale credentials to write Southern Revisionism, used his power as president to erect said statues and change the names of places and monuments, and segregated The Federal Government. That's just looking at his domestic policies. Wilsonian Doctrine gave us the Forever Wars that have ensued since, and that could easily be argued to be the least damaging thing that asshole did.
Wilson is only second to Jackson for worst president ever, and that's only because Jackson paid off the national debt, and caused the worst depression in US history. Deepest by economic percentage, though not dollar amount, and longest by over a decade. They both committed their own flavors of genocide against the Native Americans.
Seriously though this guy was on the wrong side of history
When I was a kid, our little town was finally opening a second high school. They had us current high schoolers nominate and vote on the new high school's mascot.
We were the Broncos, our drill team was the Fillies.
The admins vetoed the mascot that won a landslide victory: Bulldogs.
So they overturned the students' vote and probably pissed off every high school student, undermined everyone's trust, so they could veto... Bulldogs? What was so bad about Bulldogs?
Yep, we all felt the same. Though, the motivation for the landslide victory was Broncos/Fillies, Bulldogs/Bitches
Instead of a typical bulldog, they should've tried a bull-dog
I mean, the Bruce Lee one would at least make recycling the signs easier. Enough letters in common are a huge savings.
I'd choose Schoolie McSchoolface, but one with german artist and friendship is rather hilarious.
*austrian artist
Fine, austrian
For full hilariousness they can also make her a mascot.
EDIT: for context her name is Aryanne and she is ponification of that certain artist named Adolf.
Already did, unfortunately. There was a time when she was inescapable in fandom circles. Mlpol people are the most punchable persons to have ever existed.
"Now, Mr Pierce, it says here in your resume that you graduated high school. Would you mind saying which school you graduated from?"
"S-school... whimper... Schoolie McSchoolface"
I mean, the first 3 are fine.
Schoolie McSchoolface is fine too.
Isn't #3 the school from the Discworld books?
That's The Unseen University, not The Invisible Elementary
Who is idea?
John Cena school would be great.
