In reversal, Virginia school board votes to restore Confederate names to 2 schools

Link to article…
A Virginia school board voted Friday to restore the names of Confederate military leaders to a high school and an elementary school, four years after the names were removed amid nationwide protests calling for a reckoning over racial injustice.
In a reversal experts believe was the first of its kind, Shenandoah County’s school board voted 5-1 to rename Mountain View High School as Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary as Ashby Lee Elementary.
Friday’s vote reversed a decision by the school board in 2020 when school systems across Virginia and the South were removing Confederate names from schools and other public locations in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Southern VA.
I was hoping they were restoring JEB Stuart HS, which I used to live right behind. But, that's Fairfax Co. so probably not gonna happen.

Stonewall Jackson taught black slave children Sunday school and how to read, write. This was taboo and against the law in the South.
That wasn't taught in the history books.

Who in their right mind would even consider following a racist organization’s guidance on of all things…perceived racism.
