DALLAS, TX (WBAP/KLIF News) – A Dallas Independent School District board member is calling on the district to rename all schools with confederate names.
District 8 Trustee Miguel Solis posted a tweet late Sunday night saying “It’s past time to change the name of all confederate schools in Dallas. Looking for leaders to join me in making the change”. Solis’ district consist of schools in central and northwest Dallas and the Love Field area. Currently there are no campuses within District 8 that have names tied to confederate leaders.
Dallas schools Director of News and Information Robyn Harris shared the school district’s statement regarding the policy of changing school names:
“Dallas ISD has a policy for the renaming of a school. As an example, in 2016 Piedmont G.L.O.B.A.L. Academy undertook this process to change the name of the campus from John B. Hood Middle School. As part of the policy, any recommendations are initiated by the school community and received by the board before April 1. The board will consider the recommendations in May, and a vote would be held at the June board meeting. During the most recent proposal cycle, there were no school name changes brought forward to the board. Dallas ISD will continue to consider proposals per policy.”
The district did not identify how many schools within Dallas would be impacted by a name change. Solis has not yet responded to requests for an interview.
Here's the list:
Elementary Schools Gabe P. Allen David G. Burnet César Chávez Leonides Gonzalez Cigarroa Amelia Earhart Tom Field Stephen C. Foster Onesimo Hernandez Sam Houston John F. Kennedy Obadiah Knight Maple Lawn Eladio Martinez José “Joe” May Esperanza "Hope" Medrano Mount Auburn J.W. Ray Oran M. Roberts Julian T. Saldivar Ignacio Zaragoza
Middle Schools Francisco F. "Pancho" Medrano Thomas J. Rusk Alex W. Spence
High Schools Maya Angelou Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship Academy at James W. Fannin Multiple Careers Magnet Center
No more schools named Washington or Jefferson!
“...Currently there are no campuses within District 8 that have names tied to confederate leaders.”
LOL
Maybe in his delisunional liberal mindset Houston or Fannon’s Texas Revolution era is confused with the Civil War?
Or Wilson.
Just how damn stupid can you get. If you want a black person’s perspective on the matter, he’s one that makes sense:
Plenty of names to choose from. Pelosi. Castro. Mao. Pol Pot High School.
Don’t forget the greatest Black man to ever live, Charles Robert Darwin. Didn’t he free the slaves by proving G-d doesn’t exist?[/sarcasm]
Gotta lie....after all it is about the agenda. This must stop!
Well, the Confederate Air Force reorganized well ahead of this.
H->! HS
Welp, the list DOES have some old dead White
Peeps.
Some one should compare the performance of people attending schools named after R.E. Lee with those named after M.L. King—or a broader study named after CSA people with civil rights leaders. I would be willing to bet that the findings would be statistically significant.
The slaveowners hypocritically wanted their slaves--whom they considered mere property rather than human beings--to be counted in the census to give thim more representatives in the House of Representatives. The anti-slavery people quite correctly pointed out this hypocrisy and that its only result would be to increase the power of the slaveholders in Congress. They didn't want them counted at all.
"Three fifths of all other persons" was a compromise.
They will go after the white names. Amelia Earhart, Kennedy, Sam Houston.
> No more schools named Washington or Jefferson! <
Oh, yes. That’s Step 2.
Step 1: Rename all schools named after Confederates.
Step 2: Rename all schools named after slaveholders.
Step 3: Rename all schools named after those men who had “white privilege”.
The only problem would be what to do about a school named after a white woman. Maybe they’ll just flip a coin.
Maybe start by comparing the criminal records of people attending schools named after R.E. Lee with those named after M.L. King.
Here’s a short list of replacement names:
Karl Marx Middle School
Frederich Engels Elementary
Joseph Stalin High
Chairman Mao Prep
Fidel Castro Elementary
Che Guevara Charter School
Leon Trotsky Training Center
Another mind numbed robot divider bigot
End all immigration.........there’s nothing in it for USA, just more of POS like this b******
