Excerpted....
The school board in Shenandoah County, Virginia, early Friday approved a proposal that will restore the names of Confederate military leaders to two public schools.
The measure, which passed 5-1, reverses a previous board’s decision in 2020 to change the names of schools that had been linked to Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Turner Ashby, three men who led the pro-slavery Southern states during the Civil War.
Mountain View High School will go back to the name Stonewall Jackson High School. Honey Run Elementary School will go back to the name Ashby-Lee Elementary School.



For their next trick, they plan to name other public facilities after....
The John Wayne Gacy Cafeteria
The Charles Manson Women's Health Clinic
The Ted Kaczynski Post Office
The Ted Bundy Youth Center
The Jim Jones Juice Bar
The Typhoid Mary Center For Disease Control.
The Donald Trump Sexual Assault Prevention Hot Line

I read an article earlier pertaining to that. So many people, especially in politics, want to hold on to the past instead of moving forward and learning from history. They want that control with religion and politics instead of what is best for the majority.

It's the honoring of violent traitors
that I find so very strange.

Oh don't try to obscure the truth here. These people are not trying to "hold on to the past", they are trying to hold on to their racism.

I wonder if it's also sympathy for Trump's attempted
coup...an anti-government sentiment that's still pro
government, but favoring Trump style fundamentalism,
authoritarianism, & hatred of Democrats?

(While Democrats were the pro slavery
party in the 1800s, partisan hatred these
days isn't about slavery.)

I believe the total population of Shenandoah County, VA is around 40K. The total population of Virginia is 8.63 million. I wouldn't worry too much about all this one way or the other. I mean, it's way, way, way less than 1 percent of the population of Virginia.

You needn't worry that
we might be worrying
about this.

Thanks ever so. I'm not overly concerned one way or the other.

Glad to hear you stopped worrying.
We worry about that.

No need.

Big deal. It was no big problem before, it's no problem now.

I'm sure you will find the local KKK club in those schools too.

Democrats love their racist heritage by keeping the name Democrat intact for their party.

You do realize they were conservatives?

 

[Twilight Hue]

You do realize they were conservatives?

Nope it's those who keep the name Democrat near and dear to their hearts.

 

[Yerda]

Like naming schools in Germany after prominent Nazi party members, belatedly correcting the error and then undoing the correction.

Watching white supremacist Americans pretending that they are just massive history buffs is such a facinating spectacle. Nobody is fooled. Why bother?

 

[Revoltingest]

No need.

No worries.

I'm heading for the Jim Jones Juice Bar. I need a refreshment and vacation.

Why does it feel like we're trapped in a backwards time warp?

Hey! You stole that from me!

Good work.
