Bound for extinction?

Searching other stuff, I came across this:

Vienna Jackson Generals, Stonewall Jackson Raiders, Jackson Indians, Saxony Lutheran Crusaders, Forest Hills Rebels.

For diversity inclusion we leave the general and go to the Velma Jackson Falcons, of Velma Jackson High School, Camden, Mississippi.

Number of students, 313; minority students, 100%; economically disadvantaged, 94%; proficient in English, 42%; proficient in algebra, 64%.

Evaluations by students (as written):

“Velma Jackson believe it or not is anice school, not matter how tired i get at times once you make it to school to people you know and pretty much grew up around things get better. the thing that is so good about this school is that it's not that big so it's more hands on and the classes are not that big so you can pay more attention and get more ouuta things. You do have teachers who care and want to see you do betta but it's not there fault that the students don't care or try. So, yes i would recomend this school to someone... not just for my kids!!!! – submitted by a student”

“Velma Jackson staff and students care all about sports now(thats why it is so hard for the teams to win and succeed. Yes back in 2006 and so on, it was fun and excited, but now VJ is boring and full of children running around like wild animals. The education is good, but students there dont really care about it. VJ teaching staff is never together, every year there is always a sum of teachers leaving (include the Principal). There a list of things I can say about VJ, but Im going to make this quick. I am a student here and if you have any sense you will not let your child become one. – submitted by a student”

(Whatever, we have to get rid of that damn flag and get a new name for every school named after racist slave owners.)
