"I don't like the name Mountain View high school. Its too generic"
Really ma'am? So you're rather have it named after a divisive traitorous man that fought to enslave a portion of the people that are required to attend that high school? To you generic is too offensive, but Stonewall Jackson High isn't? Careful, your racism is showing.
Careful, your racism is showing.
That's the point.
Malcolm x high, would sound pretty badass, but I bet she wouldn't like that name hmmm
Just burn the school down, they clearly haven't been using it.
Going out like Sherman would have wanted.
Sherman intensifies
Sounds like an announcement of intent, from here.
The south can rise again if it wants, but next time it gets put down for good. No more half assing with these racist goons.
Let them leave. They aren’t worth the trouble at this point. They barely grow any ag, they don’t provide much to the economy, and they have the highest levels of incarceration by multiples and the worst quality of education. The US would be closer to Sweden in most metrics if we got rid of the south.
As a resident of Sweden, lol
Can we name one Osama bin Laden high, since we're naming schools after enemies of the United States who murdered Americans?
That looks more like a prison than a school
Don’t most? But that’s my America showing.
It is true!
These are pictures of a local shcool and a high security prison.
I guess I meant that that, looks like an American prison more than a school!
My highschool literally used the blueprints, with very few changes, from the local prison to build the school.
We had cell blocks for home rooms, and you’d just go between the four classrooms/cells within the block for the day, then another 4 the next day (so alternate classes on alternate days). No windows in most classrooms, just the cell blocks.
The hallways could all be monitored from a single central location, and it was riddled with security cameras.
The only things it didn’t have were the fence around the outside, guard towers, and bars. They even used the same color scheme, but in reverse. It was incredibly un-subtle and not a comfortable place to learn..

I wouldn't commit crime to live there, but I wouldn't mind paying rent to
If not for the social aspect of it I’d be on board also. I struggle to live that closely with others.
It’s the sort of thing I’d like to see done with existing abandoned malls, though. Might cost a bit to retrofit, but I think you could easily get away with shared facilities (bathrooms/kitchens) and separate living space, as long as it doesn’t cost a lot to live there. Make them communal living spaces that function as a whole indoor community.
You should see Japanese schools.
Celebrating the enemies of the nation.
