A school in Austin was trolled after it decided to take open nominations when trying to change its name from Robert E Lee Elementary School.

After voting on March 28 to remove the confederate general’s name from the school in the Austin Independent School District, the board asked for suggestions from the community for new names.

Top nominations included Donald J Trump Elementary and Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance, and many even re-nominated Robert E Lee Elementary, suggesting the school should keep its name, according to KXAN.

Other suggestions included Adam Lanza’s School of Fun, referring to the Sandy Hook mass shooter, Bleeding Heart Liberal Elementary and Forgetting the Past Dooms You to Repeat It Elementary.

Also suggested was Schooly McScholersoon, likely referencing an open vote that took place in the UK for a boat which was nominated to be named Boaty McBoatface.

Robert E Lee was the commander of the Confederate Army during the Civi lWar

Some suggested the school should be named after professional athletes and celebrities, like John Cena and Kanye West.

The school’s name was brought into question after the mass shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina where nine black parishioners were killed by white supremacist Dylann Roof in June 2015.

The shooting prompted a national conversation about Confederate memorials and symbols in the United States.

Several state governors supported the removal of Confederate flags and memorials from Capitol grounds.

Universities across the United States also removed statues relating to the Confederation.

Parents, school alumni community members are split over General Lee’s role in history and whether the school should carry his name.

Lee took command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in the Civil War in 1862 and surrendered in 1865.
