Virginia school district votes to restore Confederate names to two schools

Since the summer of 2020, dozens of schools in the nation named for Confederate leaders have changed their names, but this week, a Virginia school district has become likely the first in the nation to reverse course. The Shenandoah County school board overwhelmingly voted to restore the names of Confederate leaders to a high school and an elementary school.
