In South Dallas, an Unfinished Presidential Term, Raising Unemployment, Threatening Inflation, and Soaring Federal Debt Gets You Your Own Male Leadership Academy


DALLAS - The first all boys public school in the state of Texas opened its doors on Monday in Dallas.
The Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy is located in the 4700 block of South Lancaster Road. The building is the old B.F. Darrell Math, Science and Technology Vanguard, an old elementary school that was renovated for this Academy. It will have sixth through ninth grades. Additional grade levels will be added each year until students reach twelfth grade.
Dallas Independent School District officials called it a jewel which will offer the students a rigorous curriculum, along with the opportunity to learn several different languages including Mandarin, Latin and Spanish. It also offered more non-traditional sports like rowing and lacrosse. Parent involvement will be mandatory.

So South Dallas will pretty much name a school after anybody, huh? We do have an eight-year president who passed the largest bi-partisan education reform in our nation's history and who actually lives here, but DISD is going with the one who might be even less popular around here than his predecessor and hasn't even completed his first term yet? No shocker down south of the Trinity I guess... truly a different planet. You can't find one single local dignitary for this sausage-factory though? No one called The Benefactor, I know that. They could have at least called it the non-partisan Mark Cuban Center for Winning, which everyone could have rallied behind.
