School asks, 'Who is James A. Madison?'

This is just idiotic:

Utah’s James A. Madison Elementary School may have a nice ring to it, but there is a problem since the nation’s fourth president didn’t have a middle initial.

No one is really sure how the “A” became included in the name, which was among those submitted by teachers, students and parents from the Ogden School District.

I work at a school. This is so ridiculously typical.

The school board will also vote next Wednesday to ratify the James Madison name change.

That's a relief. We wouldn't want anyone thinking a place where "rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" would make such an embarrassing mistake on their marquee where everyone could see it. I mean, this is a pretty big deal.

"It's not that critical of an issue. We'll just take the A out and call it James Madison," said board President Don Belnap, who told the newspaper he didn’t notice the problem with the initial even though he was a history major in college.

This doofus must be a No Child Left Behind alumnus. Whaddya say we bring back real education, okay guys?
