  1. Some Guy says:

    pansy…

  2. Dillon says:

    I wonder who thought up the name?

  3. Anonymous says:

    Witty comment goes here

  4. Avis says:

    I feel bad for the students there.

    • MrTwstr says:

      I feel bad for their football coach.

      • Jungle Boy says:

        I’m pretty sure their mascot is also the pansies

      • Steve says:

        Lol. Their football team goes out on the field and their opponents are calling them pansy kids, they’re opponents’ fans are calling them pansy kids, their fans are calling them pansy kids, even the announcer is calling them pansy kids!

  5. Some Other Guy says:

    There’s a “Stalker Elementary School” in Bedford, IN. Behind the school is a “Stalker Nature Trail”. Who comes up with these names?

  6. Your Girlfriend says:

    Uh, I think that’s my alma mater.

  7. Hory says:

    Now this is just stupid… if you have a man or woman that you want to name your school after, just use the entire name, not just Pansy or Stalker… damn, americans are brainless

  8. Caseymann413 says:

    This “Pansy Kidd” character probably donated a LOT of money to have the school named after her.

  9. yugypeerca says:

    I Kidd

  10. Caseymann413 says:

    Simply “Kidd” Elementary would have gone over better, most likely.

  11. Caseymann413 says:

    *Middle School

  12. Selvatic says:

    kkjkjk

  13. Pansy says:

    I bet alot of strong kids go there *sarcasm*

  14. Bruno says:

    The man at the left doesn’t look manly either… Maybe he’s the “Superior Pansy”?

  15. Dadof3 says:

    So this is the football team that “Epic Elementary” kicks the crap out of every game?

  16. Cloral says:

    “Ta-da!” says the man in the blue shirt.
    Not sure why he’s so proud of it.

  17. April says:

    This is cute… is that the janitor standing outside?

  18. HilarityThyNameIsFail says:

    Did Jay Leno attend this school? Looks just like him!

  19. DBeagle says:

    Maybe it is kind of “A Boy Named Sue” thinking, by third grade they can probably kick the butt of any bullies from other schools.

  20. metalcraze says:

    Pansy Kidd Middle School–The name of our school originated back in the early nineteen hundreds. In 1912 a lady named Pansy Ingle Kidd came to Poteau. She was a graduate of Indiana University with a Masters’ Degree in English and Library Science. Pansy Ingle became a third grade teacher until 1915 when she married Frank Kidd. Since a regulation of the 1915 school board was not to hire married female teachers, she had to quit teaching. Pansy did not teach again until 1921 when the regulation was finally changed. For 40 years she taught with all her heart, and was called by many, “Dean of Poteau’s Teachers.” Mrs. Kidd taught whatever her superintendent needed her to teach. During her tenure she was a teacher of Science, Math, and English, Librarian, Counselor, and Principal. She organized the beginning of the Junior High School. This same school was later named in honor of Mrs. Kidd. Pansy Kidd taught for 42 years, and retired in 1960. She lived in Poteau until her death in 1978. Our school is indeed proud to be named for such an outstanding educator. The following plaque hangs in the hallway of Pansy Kidd Middle School.

    • Avis says:

      This does not change the fact that the students of this school must get beaten up on a regular basis. That, or they are indeed badass and can live with the stigma.

    • Some Guy says:

      They say every full moon the ghost of Pansy walks these ‘ere halls…
      but in all seriousness that is one helluva teacher/principal.

    • jimmy jammer says:

      Still doesn’t explain why their mascot is the “tinkerbells”_

  21. Blorp says:

    Pfft, please. There is a high school called “Hellsgate high school” in Missoula, MT

  22. Maybe it is kind of “A Boy Named Sue” thinking, by third grade they can probably kick the butt of any bullies from other schools.

  23. Evertide says:

    I’m glad they had someone in the picture to guide me, I had trouble seeing where the funny was.

  24. AM says:

    The light is on during the day to save electricity.

  25. Cory says:

    That dude has nice jorts!

  26. elrampage says:

    @metalcraze
    Mrs. Pansy Kidd may very well have been the outstanding lady you say, but none of the kids attending this school are happy to be called “pansy kidds”. I went there, my friends went there and it sucked. SUCKED

  27. Ari Gold says:

    what’s with that dude?

  28. WelcomeToTheJungle says:

    This is the school that “Glee” is loosely based on….

  29. MJ says:

    I went to this school. It was named after a person that lived in the area. Junior high sucks enough, why make it worse with a terrible name?

    PKMS Raiders!

  30. kitteh says:

    i bet the kids from Epic School would kick these kids’ asses!! http://www.epic.al.bce.schoolinsites.com/

  31. Brendan Richards says:

    On a similar note, during one of comedian Ronnie Corbett’s “armchair” moments, he joked that he went to a soft school for soft kids – St Pansy’s Primary.

  32. elrampage says:

    yeah Raiders! Raiders Den was cool (school store), but come on! I was just reminded of the chants the cheerleaders had to do.”Up with PMS” over and over?

    • Darin says:

      I went to Heavener, and we played a game against you guys. I remember the basketballs had PMS written on them!

  33. mwilson says:

    This brings to mind the German law that requires parents to submit names for their children for APPROVAL bwfore making it official. Public buildings like school should have to go through this process and perhaps the school could have been name Pansy Ingle Kidd.

    i went to this school…the 6th graders were called pansey landers by the 8th graders. and pretty much every one that went there got beat up. at least our football team was called the raiders…

  36. Aimz says:

    Haha that’s awesome I wish I’d gone to that school, I was such a pansy kid :)

  37. RunningWithScissors™ says:

    Makes you wonder what the school mascot is, huh?

  38. pyrodaemon2012 says:

    Is it a stuck up private school for wusses with no social skills that are ”special” and would be beaten to a pulp by the other social outcasts as soon as the walk through the door of a public school? Just kidding! I feel sorry for you guys.

    • makaela says:

      excuse me i go to this school and i am offended lets watch u come to this school and deal with some of us as a 6 foot 13 year old girl and a bball player lets see you take some of us

  39. Lisa says:

    I went to school here at Pansy Kidd Middle School. No she didn’t pay anything except her time and dedication. Yeah it was awkward going to “Pansy-Land” ( as it was named by students) but we all had a good time. It is the name of a school. Not a fail. We didn’t fail. We went from Pansy Kidd Raiders to Poteau High Pirates. We grew and learned. As a former student of a great establishment, I would greatly appreciate if everyone (American and not) would simply respect my school and the memories it holds.

  40. Sheryalene says:

    Who is the is he/she in the pic??? Whom ever u are why put this on this site??? I don’t see the FAIL – please have the brass ones to explain who u are and why……. If you don’t, then you only WISH you the guts of a PANSY KIDD!!!!!!

  41. (Blank) says:

    I totaly go to this school & it sux more than the name.:D

  42. jenny says:

    Most of the students dont like the name of that school. but, this town has alot of history and,it doesnt “suck” they even have a school store where the kids can go off campus and eat there. but, rumor has it there is a ghost at this school… a boy from pansy kidds time, she tought him.. he got in a fight with his parents and ran away from home and he was missing and still is. he does walk the halls. I was in a classroom there ounce and all of the teachers books where mysteriously pushed off of the desk while I was in there. nobody else but me.

  43. makaela says:

    As a student that goes to Pansy Kidd Middle School i am offended by what some people are saying on here. Are coaches put up with the name. Are mascot is a raider if someone had looked the other schools phs are pirates. This is a wonderful school that offers many things as a school store for lunch a range of athletic activities and many high graded students. Please lay off whoever put this on here is STUPID. Lay off are name we love the school we go to and have taken CRAP for years would people please just LAY OFF.

  44. It doesn’t matter what is the name of school. The important is the quality of education the school’s can give.
