 Not everyone is smitten with our new President. Boulder High School in Boulder, Colorado is having a clashing of the minds. An organization at the school called  “Student Worker” is interested in changing the name of the institution to Barack Obama High School but some students are saying not so fast, according to FOX News. Reasons ranging from the President not having a history with the Colorado community to just not thinking a name change is needed was cited for the sentiment not to switch the school’s name. In November, an elementary school in Long Island, New York was renamed after the 44th President.   – BB
