Dallas ISD is researching the histories of Ben Franklin, Sam Houston, Thomas Jefferson and 17 other historical figures, looking into whether their connections with slavery or the Confederacy should prompt reconsideration of their names on DISD campuses.

Last Thursday, DISD administration recommended changing the names of four schools honoring Confederate generals: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston and William L. Cabell elementary schools. During that discussion, it was mentioned that there is a much broader list of at least 21 names that bear further investigation, if trustees were compelled to do so.

Going after Houston shows us just how much these people are unaware of history.

Sam Houston told his fellow Texans that they were making a huge mistake in siding with the south. He himself was a Union supporter. He predicted that the north would squash the south. For that he was roundly defeated in the next governor election.

The ignorance of these groups is astounding. Maybe they ought to check wikipedia before they get out of bed in the morning.
