The mere thought of Joe Biden Elementary School makes us laugh. Out loud. Who could even come up with the concept of naming a school after a national embarrassment?
DelawareOnline has the story:
In a Brandywine School District contest lasting several months, voters decided the name of the new school being built in the Brandywine Hundred neighborhood of Chalfonte should be Hanby Elementary School, rejecting the name of the second most powerful officeholder in the land.
The winning name, which was revealed at Monday night’s school board meeting, was drawn Oscar-like from an envelope and announced ceremoniously by board President Olivia Johnson-Harris and two student members of a committee that had selected five finalists from several hundred names submitted by the community.
One voter, Ellie Kwick, had a very good reason for voting against Joseph R. Biden, Jr Elementary School:
Although she believes Hanby is perfectly acceptable, she was opposed to naming the school after Biden because he sent his children to private schools.
“It seems to me, if you have confidence in the public school district, you send your children there,” she said. “And so, why would you have a school named for you in a public district?”
This video demonstrates a few more reasons that no school should be named after Joe Biden.
