In addition to Trump University, Donald Trump may now have an elementary school named after him in Austin, Texas if community members have their say.
Last month, the Austin Independent School District voted to rename Robert E. Lee Elementary School and asked the public for their input. Of the 228 names suggested, Donald J. Trump Elementary was at the top of the list with 45 nominations.
Many wanted to keep the name, and 47 nominations were for Robert E. Lee or slight variations. Some also suggested Leadership & Excellence in Education, which has the initials of LEE. Two nominations were made for The Elementary School Formerly Known as Robert E. Lee.
The Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance made the top 10 list with eight nominations. Other nominations focused on celebrities, such as John Cena and Kanye West, and dictators including Kim Il-Sung, Raul Castro, and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
Other suggestions made fun of the name change:
- Bleeding Heart Liberal Elementary
- Communist Elementary
- Forgetting Your Past, Dooms You to Repeat It Elementary
- Generic School Name
