Fewer schools are being named after former presidents. The reasoning of this Minnesota administrator is a bit curious:
So when it comes to naming schools, most Minnesotans tend to favor geography over history. South Washington County district residents did when it came time to name their new high school. It's East Ridge.
"The committee felt that the name should be something that the community will resonate with," said South Washington County's communication director Barb Brown. "I don't think it has anything to do with patriotism."
Is Barb Brown suggesting that George Washington or Abraham Lincoln will not "resonate" with her community? If so, so much the worse for South Washington County.
