Headline

School drops Winston Churchill and JK Rowling as house names after student body brands wartime PM a 'racist' and Harry Potter author a 'bully' in letter to parents about why they are no longer 'suitable' Seaford Head School in East Sussex sent a note to parents announcing the news. It said Sir Winston Churchill and JK Rowling did not represent their views

From the article:

A school has dropped Winston Churchill and JK Rowling as house names after students said they did not think they represented them.

Stunned parents with children at Seaford Head School in East Sussex received the letter this week slamming both famous figures.

The note - which was marked as being from students - said wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill was 'a figure who promoted racism and inequality, unfairly imprisoning and torturing many'.

Churchill has been included in numerous polls, mostly connected with greatness. Time named him its Man of the Year for 1940,[41] and "Man of the Half-Century" in 1949.[42] A BBC survey, of January 2000, saw Churchill voted the greatest British prime minister of the 20th century. In 2002, BBC TV viewers and web site users voted him the greatest Briton of all time in a ten-part series called Great Britons, a poll attracting almost two million votes.[43]

Holocaust victims may have a different idea of his racist attitude.

I am quite sure they will replace Churchill with Chamberlain. Seams that how the revisionists work.

That's true. He especially despised Gandhi. Still gets my vote as the greatest person of the 20th century

Westminster Abbey has been the center of British historical continuity regarding the state and religion for 1000 years. Famous Britons’ remains (regents, nobility, poets and authors, explorers, military heroes, philosophers and many others) are memorialized there. You see a thousand years of history in ornate and beautiful imagery while attending services or participating in a tour. As you exit the church, simply inscribed in the flagstones at your feet at the rear door is this: “Remember Winston Churchill”. It is there for a reason.

10 years ago, her stances were to the extreme left. Today, she isn't progressive enough and therefore must be cancelled and silenced.

Her stances haven't changed.

That's where the radical liberals have moved this country... in just a few short years. Buckle up. They're just getting started.

Without Winston, all of Europe would be under German control.

Yeah, those memorials to racists are gonna have to go, along with any signs of Christianity as they offend Muslims.

Ain't that the truth. You notice it's always "America" that takes the rap for that, not FDR.
