Barack Obama Elementary School Closed Due To Mold And Rodents

Most people have never heard of the Barack Obama Elementary School in Richmond, VA, but the story of the school is interesting because it's a reflection of the political madness the US went through over the course of the past decade. 

The school was originally built in 1922 and is over 100 years old.  It was once called J.E.B Stuart Elementary, but in 2018, the political left went on a historical arson spree - Tearing down statues and renaming anything with ties to the Confederacy as a way to assert ideological dominance. 

Hysteria over the protest events in Charlotte in which "Nazis" held a torchlight vigil (which we now know was most likely funded and organized by the SPLC) led to an American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. 

The remnants of the Civil War were slated for erasure and the school, named after a confederate general, was an obvious target.  It was renamed after Barack Obama; taking on the reputation of a president who did more to sow racial division in the US than any other person in modern history.  The fanatical woke movement was nurtured and given momentum by the Obama Administration and the American public has been dealing with the repercussions ever since.

Like its namesake, Barack Obama Elementary has something rotten under the surface.

The school of 285 students is now shut down for an undisclosed period after it was discovered that the buildings were testing positive for mold.  The facility also had reports of rodents (mice or rats) in several rooms, alongside the more prominent mold health issue.  The mold and rodent problems were noticed by staff as they prepared for the start of the new school year.

Officials say they hope to reopen the building in a week, though this has proven to be an overly optimistic goal after earlier “clear” air-quality tests were quickly contradicted by new visible mold discoveries (behind bulletin boards, on computers, in the art room, etc.), forcing repeated delays.  A more realistic time frame is one month or more.   

The building is indeed old, but it is rather poetic that a property renamed to "hide the shame" of its confederate roots ended up being shut down after "Barack Obama" was slapped on the front because of decay.  It's also ironic that Democrats were so proud of themselves for blotting out a confederate figure:  The confederates were, of course, Democrats.  School officials say they will work to reopen the facility as soon as possible, though no concrete timeline has been given.

Following their mantra of "never let a good crisis go to waste" (quoted by Rahm Emmanuel, former Chief of Staff to Barack Obama), Democrats are seeking to use the school closure as further leverage to promote a new sales tax in the area.  

Barack Obama Elementary is in a majority black neighborhood and the student body is around 95% black.  The shutdown of the school is a sensitive subject for Democrats and liberals because of the symbolism.  Once a group attaches their political image to a building or a monument, they make those monuments a target for ridicule.  One of their buildings is now full of fungus and rats; it's funny because it's fitting.
