“I don't think any of you have ever seen a picture where one of your decedents was hanging from a tree,” said one man who testified in favor of the name change.
“I know the majority of you guys are white and it's hard to know how that word could have an effect but it does,” added a young student who testified. “If a simple name change could make students feel safe, then why are we holding back?”
Hanging was the official form of execution for most of this country's history so this makes absolutely 0 sense ignoring the fact that the land was donated by a guy with the name. Hell, hanging is still legal in this country.
This is stupid, but I'm not surprised by it one bit.
