Latinx activists in an Illinois town oppose renaming Thomas Jefferson Middle School after the Obamas
CNN
Several Latinx community members in Waukegan, Illinois, point to the former President's record on deportations as reason to opt for another namesake.
A majority of residents in Waukegan say they don't want the district's Thomas Jefferson Middle School to keep its name. But they haven't yet been able to agree on someone else to name the school after. One leading contender is Barack and Michelle Obama Middle School. For some in the community, though, that alternative doesn't work either.More Related News
