They came for Washington. Then Jefferson. Then Lincoln. Then (checks notes) Dianne Feinstein.
So, it s no surprise that the woke mob would eventually come for the nation s first Black president in Barack Obama
Why the backlash against the guy who left office with an approval rating of 58 percent? Because a Chicago school district wants to rename Thomas Jefferson Middle School after the 44th president, who also hails from the Windy City. Activists say Obama cannot even be considered for renaming of any school because he deported more undocumented immigrants than any president in history, including Donald Trump

I remember thinking back when Barack Obama was running for president why didn’t more people see how far left he was?
Some were taken by the same pitch that some bought with Joe Biden, oh, with Obama you’d get more “unity.” But it was clear that he would bring anything but and push us further left.
That was 2008. Imagine now how far left we’ve moved that now some on the left regard Obama as an “oppressor” and are objecting to naming a Chicago school after him.
The District 60 Board of Education was debating renaming Thomas Jefferson Middle School after Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

A middle school in Illinois wanted to change its name. You guessed correctly it was over being named after a problematic individual. Thomas Jefferson Middle School near Chicago wanted to be renamed after Barack Obama, but the illegal alien community was not pleased, saying the most popular Democratic president in recent memory and his deportation history was deeply disturbing or something. This is truly silly season. It’s ridiculous the Left has a stroke over Thomas Jefferson, one of our finest presidents and a Founding Father. It’s even more comical that Barack Obama is now being canceled (via Washington Examiner):

“Obama is another oppressor.” Those are not my words. Instead, they are the words of activist Julie Contreras, who “works with a group that runs shelters for undocumented children at the U.S./Mexico border.”
Contreras joined with other Hispanic immigrants who opposed renaming two Chicago-area schools after Barack and Michelle Obama. Yes, they wanted the names changed, but not from one oppressor to another.
The schools are currently named Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School, but since Jefferson owned slaves and Webster supported slavery, those names must go.
Unfortunately, the Obamas are tainted too. “I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community,” said District 60 school board member Edgar Castellanos, who came to America undocumented as a child.
