Virginia school board votes to restore Confederate names

quote:

The Shenandoah County School Board voted 5-1 to reinstate the names of Stonewall Jackson High and Ashby-Lee Elementary in Quicksburg.

Community members had been pushing for a reversal, arguing the 2020 name change was unpopular.

The vote marked the first such U-turn anywhere in the US.

It would be nice if they brought back the confederate statues.

Good job Shenandoah county school board for restoring the names. I'm sure all leftists are melting down.

As Johnny Cash sang “God Bless Robert E Lee”. Even his enemies respected him. Lee urged reconciliation after the war. But modern revisionists denigrated the man. So good for this school board.

That's a helluva lot closer to DC than I would have thought. I had always said that if the South ever seceded again, Richmond, VA would certainly NOT be the capital. Is it possible that I was wrong about Virginia and they still have some people that aren't slobbering dogs for the DC elite?

I have visited his grave in Lexington, Virginia and left a lemon for him. He loved lemons.

I live very close to that exact area. The people around there are good people with common sense.

Glad to see this. They are building a 2nd high school in Harrisonburg VA and calling it Harrisonburg high 2. nobody wants to name it after anybody in fear they are racists.
