Debate Heats Up Over Renaming Of Dallas Schools

DALLAS (CBS 11 / TXA 21) The debate to rename two Dallas schools after President Barack Obama and newly sworn-in Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor is heating up.

*snip*

"Overwhelmingly, the parents and the kids said we want Barack Obama and when you see those kids eyes, their eyes just started glowing, and even the parent's eyes were glowing just for the fact that their kid would one day go to the Barack Obama school," Price said.

So far, there hasn't been much debate over the selected Sotomayor school.

My eyes would be glowing too, but not in a good way.

Tell ya what kids, wait 4 years and see how you feel about it after grandma and grandpa have been refused care and sent home to die. If you still want it then, fine. I have the feeling you're asking for the Edsel.

Additionally, the board will have to waive its policy for the proposed naming for the schools and library because the recipients have not attained the age of 70, as required.

It use to be they couldn't name any school/institution after a living person. I still think that is good policy.

Barry 0 has none of the above.
