For years, boys and girls at South Arbor Charter Academy have been inspired by Heroes Hall – a corridor featuring murals that honored the Space Shuttle Columbia astronauts, Mother Teresa, Betsy Ross and Albert Einstein.
But many parents are furious after the principal had the murals replaced with paintings honoring President Obama, J.K. Rowling and Oprah.
“This is no longer a hall of heroes,” parent Craig Bergman told me. “Now we have a hall of celebrities.”
The original mural had been a part of the Michigan charter school for years. It included a diverse group of national and global “heroes” – from Gandhi to the astronauts who were killed when the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded over Texas.

Maybe they should rename the wall and call it "Insprational People". Heroes really gets over done.
However, IMO, primary kids will be more inspired by people they can actually relate to.

But how can people relate to Obama? You have the Benghazi Fiasco, illegal wars in Libya, Syria and other Middle Eastern Countries and many other things.
Plus many people are getting tried of Obama and his policies.

That's what I thought but do they even know who Walt Disney is? He died before I went to school.
