Activists protest renaming Chicago school after 'oppressor' Barack Obama | Fox News
  • 'I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community'
  • Immigration activists are objecting to renaming a Chicago school after Barack Obama. 
"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 says he came to the U.S. as an undocumented child, according to ABC 7 Chicago. 
Waukegan's Board of Education met Tuesday evening to debate renaming Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School, after it was decided the historical figures either owned slaves or supported slavery. 
..."We feel that Barack Obama did disservice to us. He denied us, and he didn't stop the deportations, the way he promised," Contreras continued.
