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.
“This is no longer a hall of heroes,” parent Craig Bergman told me. “Now we have a hall of celebrities.”

disgusting.
Appalling.
That is absolutely disgusting. Every ignorant person that makes changes like this need to be shot for treason. They are fixated with Obama and they will drink Kool Aid for him. Oprah? WTF!!
Parents need to do more than complain, they need to make sure that person responsible is fired. He/she is a traitor.
Why not Anthony Weiner and Larry Sinclair?
If that group of people are “modern-day heroes” then I'm a GD gray alien.
I agree with 2:09PM, it's sickening.., fire anyone involved., including the artist/s.
Oprah is a RACIST! She disguises it by occasionally giving cars away to her white trash audience.
