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.
And Zoolander is a movie in which such a name would fit reasonably well
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
When you realize Obi-Wan Kenobi was a civil war general
Technically he was! Just the wrong Republic?
Not because he had slaves or anything
Horse in question:
EDIT: for context her name is Aryanne and she is ponification of that certain artist named Adolf.
Why do you keep posting that image?
This image is under two comments: one mentions horses, other mentions zooland and certain artist.
I’m just confused how it’s relevant. It looks like a cartoon pony holding some sort of explosive device.
Her name is Aryanne and she is ponification of that artist.
I didn’t realize there was a Nazi pony. I don’t see the resemblance.
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
Maybe not the Hitler one
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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bulldog_mascots
It’s also been featured in movies and TV Shows. Basically, it’s the most generic mascot you could possibly have.
Fillies in Philly
Fillydelphia. The horsecity.
I mean, the Bruce Lee one would at least make recycling the signs easier. Enough letters in common are a huge savings.
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
wow wtf
Calling it Lee anything is pretty dark. The name comes from slavery and and discrimination. It is tied to white supremacy groups that go around and hang African Americans they don’t like. Black Americans were dragged out of houses by a mob and then beaten heavily before finally being hung on a tree branch. (The KKK is the group I’m referring to)
Of course this was not all of America and this kind of behavior has since stopped and we now we aim to stop racism not promote it.
Here are the lyrics to a Billie Holiday song called “strange fruit” (it is in reference to lynchings)
[Verse 1]
Southern trees bear a strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
[Verse 2]
Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
[Verse 3]
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop
Why does he have a Chinese last name?
I don’t think Lee is Chinese only
I think there’s a bit of “whoosh” happening…
Robert E Lee is similar to Rommel. It’s problematic to use their name for things, but ignoring them is historically dishonest.
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
I’d choose Schoolie McSchoolface, but one with german artist and friendship is rather hilarious.
*austrian artist
Fine, austrian
I can hear your eyes rolling from here :))
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 your graduated high school. Would you mind saying which school you graduated from?”
“School… Schoolie McSchoolface”
This is the world I want to live in
The world is absurd, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not
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?
I miss Austin sometimes.
I miss Minecraft Steve
Hell, I even miss Fortnite Bob!
Schoolie mad!
Do you suppose people wouldn’t see the school name if number 3 was picked?
