A high school that opened in the late 1950s, named after Robert E Lee and incorporated Confederate symbolism, complete with a statue.

I mean, I think we can all figure out the true reasoning behind this...

They need to change it to Bruce Lee High, so they save money only changing half of the name. And it's named after a minority so it gets extra progressivism points.
