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.

Next Tuesday, the same school board will be formerly christening _The Hermann Wilhelm Göring German Language Center_ and _The Michael Vick Veterinary School_
All full gray hair there...no actual parents of schoolkids
Stop with the pearl clutching. This is who these people really are. This is who they've ALWAYS been. Be grateful that they've labeled themselves. Now at least, they're easily identifiable.

You would be okay if Milwaukee named a school after Jeffery Dahmer? I mean all history is equal right? It’s not a reflection of our our current values, right?

@@samekh82 No, not all history is equal. The problem is that there are people like you, who ignorant about the South, and ALL of the reasons the Civil War was fought. I would suggest educating yourself, it was not just about slavery, and some of the reasons still exist because of attacks against the South, even though that was supposed to have ended.

How embarrassing. Why would you name a school after a leader of the confederacy anyway? What the hell are these people thinking.
Good on the board
But nothing named after Longstreet Ingrates
Why don't they just say they want slavery to come back. Let's get it poppin then. We're not going back to 1864!!! Keep that ish in the museums.

Funny, but I recall many Conf controversies in the 90s. There's even a 92-93 episode of The Golden Palace that features the topic of how AA view that flag. Were you even born then?
Why some people can't accept what their ancestors supported was evil is because they can't accept reality in general.
