Ben Carson Fumes Over Name Being Removed From Detroit School!

Papa Smurf lost in the village.

Former Housing and Urban Development secretary Benjamin Carson fumes over his name being removed from a Detroit High School. 

Students and parents petitioned for the school board to have the former Washed Up 45 official's name to be removed. He appears on Fox to complain about his freedom of speech being silenced. He takes aim at Detroit city schools and gaslights about Black conservatives being marginalized by the left.

Republicans and conservatives complain about being silenced. Yet they appear on television, talk radio, the internet and in publications. They complain about being silenced and they are still talking.

So the Benjamin Carson Midtown High School of Science and Medicine is renamed Crockett Midtown School of Science and Medicine. It was a decision approved by the Detroit School Board.

Carson is the Detroit neurosurgeon-turned-politician who endorsed the business mogul, former reality tv star and conspiracy theorist in 2016 after ending his own presidential campaign. He served as secretary of housing and urban development from 2017 to 2021, during which his agency rolled back federal efforts to fight housing discrimination.

Ben Carson upset Detroit removed his name.

Board member Sherry Gay-Dagnogo said that she has “received so many requests” from community members about Ben Carson’s name based on “many of the disparaging remarks he made from the administration that he clings to.” 

She said she asked the board to renew the name change process at Carson so that “we don’t have a direct affiliation with that mindset, especially as it relates to people with challenges, housing needs, etc.”

The name is dedicated to Ethelene Jones Crockett. She was an American physician and activist from Detroit. She was Michigan's first African-American female board certified OB/GYN, and the first woman to be president of the American Lung Association. In 1988, Crockett was inducted posthumously into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

Carson reacted to his name being removed.

"It's very sad that we've reached the point where political ideology trumps the whole purpose of an educational institution," Carson said on Sean "Softball" Hannity's night time bullshit.

"And we're seeing this wokeness spreading throughout our community to the destruction of our community. How does it do any good for us to demonize people with whom we disagree and to teach that to our children at a time when the math scores are down, the reading scores are down; academic performance is down?"
