[TylerW]

Shouldn't be limited to fish:

Nudiebrank High

Hopefully one of the schools can get renamed to Boops Boops High.

Isn't San Francisco itself named after a Catholic Monk?

What person in history meets the SF School Board purity test?

Can't be MLK as he was a womanizer, right?

And there are only 33,360 fish species so we'll have to move on to rodents.

In March 2020 the Australian Strategic Policy Institute identified 83 companies that directly or indirectly benefit from forced Uyghur workers ( estimated to be 80,000) in China - among them Nike, Apple, Adidas, North Face and Gap.
I wonder if the folks who decided to change these school names where wearing clothing and using iPhones produced by oppressed people as they criticized Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln for being racists?
Those 3 are long since dead, why not focus on people still in bondage around the world?

Triggerfish High might not get picked...

humuhumunukunukuapuaa high

This Hawaiian fish with a long name is pronounced“who moo who moo new coo new coo ah poo ah ah”

The name means “trigger fish with a snout like a pig.“

I did not know that, thanks!

I did have a six inch Humu in my tank when I still had it set up. I accidentally left my finger about an inch into the tank during feeding and the sucker bit me, drawing blood. :shocker

Good catch, yes from my iPhone, which may have come from forced labor. I’ll slink shamefully away now

 

[wazzuFreddo]

I don't care if they take the names down or if they keep them. :dunno

The only constant in life is change. :dunno

Death and taxes as well.

 

[DucatiHoney]

Yeah. I mean, why can't everything be named after rich, white, landowning dudes all the time? Oh wait. It pretty much is. :laughing

 

[wazzuFreddo]

Death and taxes as well.

They named one of the buildings at the high school I went to after a long time history teacher when he retired. A couple years later the dude was arrested and it turns out he was a pedo all along.

They tore his name off the school building lightning fast.

I propose Maulana Karenga, Ward Churchill and General Cinque as more appropriate replacements.

 

[Climber]

It seems that context has little weight in the face of the need to generate outrage.

Sucks for the people who attended those High Schools, years from now they'll be trying to explain to their kids and grandkids about an experience at a school and they'll have no clue what school they were talking about, or worse that they went to a racists school.

 

[berth]

inevitably though someone will name their school after the guy that named himself after a book that has a fish in the name so they can be animal based but also historical

Blast from the past, I remember that story.

I'm sure he confuses modern day baseball fans who are fond of Mike Trout.

My kids already have no clue what the hell I am talking about, I'm sure stories from Kennewick High will be even less relatable. :laughing

I don’t think much has changed considering SF General now has Zuckerberg’s name attached and Children’s Hospital has Benioff’s name on their sign, and Bill Gates was just listed as being the single biggest farmland owner in America, and we know about Larry Ellison’s ownership of Lanai.

Yes, the goal is to eradicate that history and build a new representation of our society that explicitly excludes those folks. And they didn't have to be bad people through action either, because they already are by attribute.

DC has monuments and memorials, and I think slaves helped build the white house, so there's lots to do...

SpongeBob High

The Squidward Academy

Patrick Prep.

I like it.

i don't think fish is likely to be the best naming paradigm but...

inevitably though someone will name their school after the guy that named himself after a book that has a fish in the name so they can be animal based but also historical

oh also, if animals will the vegans have to homeschool?

Great, great story.
