A Virginia school district was sued this week after it restored Confederate military names for two buildings, foreshadowing a broader battle that is heating up ahead of the election.
The Virginia NAACP sued the school board in Shenandoah County after it voted to change Mountain View High School to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary back to Ashby Lee Elementary.
The NAACP argues in its federal lawsuit that students’ constitutional rights were violated by the district’s act of reverting back to Confederate names. It invoked the First Amendment and 14th Amendment in its lawsuit, saying it “prohibits racial discrimination in state-supported institutions.”
”By celebrating the memory of these traitors every time a child walked through the school doors, by embracing the cold wind of intolerance and division and insensitivity, the Shenandoah County School Board has resurrected the ghosts of the Jim Crow era,” NAACP Virginia State Conference President Cozy Bailey said.

That’s right.
They should paint their names in the street.
Then if anyone defiles it.. they go to jail for 10 years.. ?

I’m offended by the NAACP; where’s my Lawsuit and 4th and 14th Amendment protection?
I think NAACP toilet paper would be most appropriate.
People are much more concerned with buying groceries and paying bills than listening to these people who have the time and money to seemingly do nothing other than complain about the past. They’re all supported by rich white Leftists whose only goal is to keep blacks focused on being perpetual victims of sins from 150 years ago. If blacks wake up and see how the white Leftists truly view them, nonsense like this becomes disregarded and unimportant.
Deep State would far rather have people angsting about this than the fact that their diploma mills are state sanctioned child abuse.
If you don't like it, then take up arms. Get out of my face. Stay out of my face. Save your face and your race by getting back to worship services and shutting up.
Most likely commie infiltrators..
Mene, knock it off with the take up arms talk.
It seems that resistance to the Left’s campaign to “cancel” all statues, monuments, flags and memorials of the Confederacy is growing. For example, the Facebook site “Monuments Across Dixie” has 121,000 followers.
That is a decision for them. And you are...?
They want the Khmer Rouge “Year Zero”, and all that it entails.
Daaaa-yum.
I am someone with common sense.
It looks like several entities are deliberately trying to provoke conservatives to violence. They are DESPARATE to be able to say, “They started it.”.
You really have to invest some time to get things like you want them.
Yep, they are!
