The recommendations for the future name of Robert E. Lee Elementary in Austin were released on 22 April.

Some of the new names suggested for the school included Donald J. Trump, Harper Lee, Spike Lee and Bruce Lee. There was also ‘The Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance,’ Fox 7 News reported.

‘On 28 March, the Austin ISD board voted to rename the school, after hearing feedback from the community and school parents. While the board asked for recommendations, they will have final say on the name, regardless of number of nominations.’

‘Security has been increased at the school as a precaution.’

‘Some of the more notable, but less voted names include:

Adam Lanza’s School of Fun, Bee Movie, Bleeding Heart Liberal Elementary, Boaty McBoatface Elementary School, Forgetting the Past Dooms You to Repeat It Elementary, Garfunkel, Hypothetical Perfect Person Memorial Elementary School, John Cena Elementary and Schooly McSchoolerson.’

‘Parents, past students, neighbours and community members are divided on the Confederate general’s role in history, and whether or not the school should bear his name.

‘The school’s name was brought into question after the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.’
