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.

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.

More BS from the People’s Republic of California.
Rename it to Karl Marx Elementary

Cultural Cleansing

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.
