SAN DIEGO — A lawmaker called Tuesday on the San Diego Unified School District to change the name of Robert E. Lee Elementary School because of the namesake’s ties to the Confederacy.

Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, sent a letter to SDUSD Superintendent Cindy Marten that referred to the shooting deaths of the pastor and eight parishioners of a historic black church in Charleston. The school district did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the issue.

The attack is being investigated as a hate crime. The 21-year-old accused gunman, who is white, had posed with a Confederate flag in photos posted online.

South Carolina’s governor has since called for the Confederate flag to be removed from the statehouse.

The news media is the enemy of every American and every individual

The news media want to destroy freedom,liberty and individual rights . they are in a war against the individual.

The media are engaging in a massive campaign against the Confederate flag and anything related to the confederacy. This is to hide the coverage of the passing of Obamatrade which is really passing the obama immigration agenda . obama will import most of the 6 billion people now in the 3rd world into the USA : http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

Obamatrade is not news to the media but a flag is and an individual(one out of 330 million ) shooting people they turn into top news of the year

Rouhani Elementary. Make the mascot the Fighting Mohammeds, and see what happens when the costumed mascot shows up at school events.

Will this time in America be remembered as THE AGE OF THE ICONOCLASTS?

Will our history books report up till 1860 and then have a blackout, resuming in 1866?

Lorena Gonzalez.....go back to Mexico.

Robert E. Lee was a great American, who turned down command of the Union Army, saying he couldn’t take up arms against his fellow Virginians.

What the hell does Robert E. Lee have to do with Dylann Storm Roof, anyway?

More BS from the People’s Republic of California.

The news media used a single act by a single individual to take away our freedom of speech. If people don’t see now that the media is the enemy and the problem I don’t know when they will

The same people who support this are opposed to drawing Mohamed because it might provoke violence.

Couldn’t the removal of historical tributes to the Confederacy provoke violence?

Probably not. We all know that the Confederate flag is not what caused the recent shooting rampage.

Expanding the ban. Their sights really are on everyone and everything in the South: religion, guns, family, protestant values.
