And how much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ will that cost?
Isn’t it interesting that when the Right tries to effect change, they have no standing. When the Left tries to effect change, they don’t even have to be in the same hemisphere.
This ....garbage...is going to go way too far.
Bastards.
This shows just why plain old numbers are the best way to go. Like mom’s old Public School No. 71.
I bet the media would be utterly confused and outraged. "But Che is a cultural symbol to a lot of people!!!!!!!!"
Some years ago, New Orleans deleted the name of George Washington school. They did that because Washington owned slaves. And they didn’t want to hurt the self esteem if the mostly black student body. They named the school after some.obscure African king.
No word on whether student achievement increased now that the students were no longer attending a school named for a slave owner.
I went to Woodrow Wilson High in Long Beach. Wonder when they’re coming after its name.
‘Round up the usual cowards’ who legislate such treachery.
It sounds from the article like that peter Parnett guy was as deeply racist and as motivated to do something about it as Hitler. I do think all the schools named after him should have changed their names long ago.
Historians, was Robert E. Lee all about slavery, or just defending territory being invaded? Not sure why that school should be renamed.
Yes!! Cuz changing a school name will help students achieve a higher educational level. I mean look at the great scholastic success MLB’s name has brought to those fine institutions of learning proudly bearing it. Maybe those rotten Southern Civil war names are the reason for the pure ROT that is urban black culture. So by all means eliminate ALL vestiges of the South’s uprising. Maybe, just maybe it will elevate the disaster that is the black community......or not. It’s all BS. The symbols and names are just being used as excuses for the failures of that same black community. Sure, there is some bias within the ‘system’, but more and more these failures/problems are self-inflected. As a ‘state classified’ brown person, I’ve quit caring about the black, brown, yellow, or rainbow experience. I care about the individual. Race or group identity is now a non-starter with me. Take that back to your ‘community hole’.
Long Island? It should be Che Guevarra Elementary! Viva Che!
They’ll probably want to name it after some treasonous, leftwing DemocRAT bass turd.
They’re not no civil rights group. They’re subversives.
I’ll see your RE Lee, and raise you a Malcom Shabazz.
Just name it Karl Marx Reeducation School and get it over with.
This Country obviously has too much time on its hands.
There is a reason they call Liberals the Perpetually Offended. They will never stop, just like the Terminator.
a school in LA? Named Robert E Lee? They don’t deserve to have a school with that name in LA anyway. To change the name is no loss
General Lee was known historically as an honorable gentleman and brilliant American soldier. He is therefore unlikely to have anything in common with those currently trying to disown him. Comrade dictator obama is probably better suited to the unethical crowd.
This is not slavery related, but as a Caucasian-American, I am offended by the name of the Presidential residence.
