Not everyone can pass over Dr. Ben Carson's role in aiding the Trump administration in dividing the country. And for Detroit school board members, Carson is just as bad as Trump.

The Detroit-native graduated from Southwest High School in 1967 and has become a shining example, representing the good the city can produce.The history-making neurosurgeon, turned director of Housing and Urban Development, has a high school named in his honor in the city, the Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine

But his role in the administration has diminished any goodwill Detroit school board members had for him, reports The Washington Post. They want his name removed from the school altogether.  

“It is synonymous with having Trump’s name on our school in blackface,” Detroit school board member Lamar Lemmons told the Post.

Carson “is doing Trump’s bidding, and he has adversely affected the African American community in Detroit as well as the nation with his housing policies,” Lemmons said. "And he’s allied himself with a president that says he is a white nationalist and sends dog whistles that even the deaf can hear.”

Carson's tenure as HUD director has been rocky, to say the least. The cuts to low-income housing, scandals regarding expensive furniture and his department's inevitability to separate church and state has tainted Carson's legacy.

Even though Carson plays a minor role in actual policymaking, Lemmons believes he has aided in Trump's white nationalism.

There is reportedly widespread support for the school's name change. Lemmons and others will be pushing for a policy to only name schools for figures who have died.
