KHSD votes against charter school named in honor of Obama

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- In a special session Wednesday morning, the Kern
High School District board voted down a petition to bring a charter
school to Bakersfield named in honor of President Barack Obama.
Board members who voted unanimously cited a very lackluster proposal
riddled with error and typos highlighted by incorrect listing of the
district name and a first paragraph that was addressed to Escondido
schools.
Neighbors voiced mixed reactions.
"It's going to take a village," said supporter Jan Flowery, "with so
many dropouts."
Resident Susan Wooden had additional questions.
"With so many financial problems, how will the school get paid for?"
asked Wooden.
Gale Bunding wasn't against the school but didn't want the school named
after the president.
"How can we name the school after someone who is anti-American," said
Bunding.
Listening attentively at the meeting was another group hopeful to get a
charter school approved in Greenfield. Damon Smothers is part of a group
working on getting approval for Smothers Academy.
The family psychologist currently runs an educational center in central
Bakersfield that offers tutoring and counseling.
"I think the community needs it. I want kids to know they can do it,"
said Smothers.
Smothers says he is deeply rooted in the community, citing a little
league youth football team made up youth that use the center's services.
According to Superintendent Chris Crawford with the Greenfield School,
Smothers has met the requirements for the number of teachers and the
enrollment requirements of 100 interested students.
Notice the part about
"Very lackluster proposal riddled with error and typos "
Seems Obama supporters are as stupid as a bag of dog shit.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the
means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not
making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of
it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different
countries, that the more public provisions were made for the
poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin
Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
Ahem. Do not attribute to stupidity which might only be
ignorance.
OTOH, Obama supporters seem to have clarified that they are not
merely ignorant, but willfully ignorant.

P.s. OTGH, They might be grajitutes of No Child Left Behind" so it
could actually be "Bush's fault."

Just about the time you finally see light at the end of the tunnel,
you find out it's a Government Project to build more tunnel.
In 2013, everybody is going to be saying: "Who's Obama?"

Was this near Moron?

Either a winger or a Klingon plot.

Yawn, as stupid as someone who writes a misleading and inaccurate
Subject line? I mean, how hard is THAT???
I mean, have YOU ever tried to get a Charter School together, little boy?
Stupid shit...

It's cold, and the timing might be a little optimistic, but you might
be right Tawm - didn't take us long to say "Who's Jimmy Carter?" but
he was only insipid and not outright malicious.
If the Dems and the Unions get this budget-bursting abortion of a
healthcare mess passed, and a few other things on their agenda before
they lose Congress badly in 2012, we won't forget BHO for a while as
we try to unwind the whole mess.
And as we get to fight through our own Lost Decade cleaning up after
him, I can guarantee it won't be a fond memory...

One of my toilet cleaning crews made up of minimum wage liberals reports
that there is a toilet that was named the Obama John-a at one of our venues,
with his likeness in the bowl. They complained that it is so popular to shit
in, that it requires extra cleaning.
It seems it had nothing to do with Obama at all, the proposal was weak.
"Trustee Chad Vegas said he wasn't concerned with the name of the
school, and would reject it even if it were named after Jesus Christ."
>"Trustee Chad Vegas said he wasn't concerned with the name of the

I noticed the part where misspellings abounded. Not the way to make a presentation.

The local school board has a firm policy that no schools will be
named after individuals. That was, until local veterans forced the
issue and a new school was named after Hammett Bowen Jr., a local Medal

Someone that recieved the Medal of Honor should be an exception. I notice you didn't make
the mistake of putting in 'Congressional' or using the work 'Won'.

The US economy is up about 10% since Obama took over
less than a year ago.

They installed an Obama-John-a there too? That's too funny!
He was the only one in a county of 318,000 people. The school board
didn't see it that way. In fact, they claimed that they were pressured
and coerced by Veterans into chosing the name. My reply was that if they
could be coerced, they shouldn't be on the school board.

That would be like a draftee claiming he won the draft lottery and
'Congressional' has very little to do with 'Honor'. :(
