Compton school is named for Barack Obama, a first in California

First there were Obama T-shirts and bumper stickers. Now there’s a Compton charter school named after the president-elect.

The former Qued Charter Elementary School changed its name to the Barack Obama Charter School earlier this week. The original name was always intended as a placeholder — “Qued” is a mash-up of “quality” and “education” — and parents at the school overwhelmingly wanted the school to be named after Obama.

/after all, he’s the greatest President-elect in the history of the country
