The recent movement to scrub the American South of Confederate flags and names, which many view as pro-slavery symbols, has a new celebrity supporter: Julianne Moore.
The Academy Award-winning actress has teamed with movie producer Bruce Cohen in launching an online petition to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School in Falls Church, Virginia, arguing that the name represents a "history of racism."

In Iraq and Syria, ISIS is doing their best to eradicate all traces of Christianity. In this country, liberals are doing their best to eradicate all traces of southern heritage.
I suspect that every Hollywood star goes to his/her agent and asks for a pet cause to help his/her career.
Starlet to agent: "Look, I need a cause to promote to stay in the spotlight when my latest film tanks at the box office. How about children in Somalia?"
Agent to Starlet: "Sorry, that's taken, so is Sudan and Bosnia. But no celebrity has made hay yet by promoting the cause of Syrian refugees!
Starlet: "I'm all in. But I need a domestic cause too. Homeless children and AIDS are so passe. What do you recommend?
Agent: "I think that the wave of the future is setting up a charity to prevent the bullying of transgender children. And after ther recent shooting, you'd be smart to start protesting Confederate flags and statues of Confederate generals"
Starlet: "I'm glad I have you as an agent. This will give my career a real shot in the arm! CNN headline, here I come!"
Reminds me of Hanoi Jane and Julia Russell having most memorable roles as whores.
STFU. I went there too, keep the name.
She’s just another Stalinist.
Appeals Court Reverses dismissal of earlier Chancery Court ruling
The N. B. Forrest Camp 215 Sons of Confederate Veterans is pleased to forward the announcement that the Tennessee Court of Appeals on Friday reversed Shelby County Chancery Court's dismissal of the lawsuit against the city arising from City Council's 2013 decision and illegal actions to change the names of three city parks: Forrest Park, Confederate Park and Jefferson Davis Park.
In a unanimous ruling the Appeals Court stated that “On appeal, we hold that the allegations of the complaint are sufficient to establish standing as to one of the organizations, Sons of Confederate Veterans Nathan Bedford Forrest Camp #215. We therefore reverse the trial court's dismissal as to that organization.”
Doug Jones, Nashville attorney representing the SCV, issued a statement on behalf of his clients saying SCV Camp 215 is “pleased” with the ruling. “SCV Camp #215 alleged the City's resolutions, which attempted to change the names of the three Civil War Parks, were illegal and without statutory authority.
“The Court, in its opinion, specifically noted that the City of Memphis encouraged the SCV to erect a new marker at Forrest Park. The SCV wants to preserve the rich history Memphis. It is truly American history and as such, should be available to all the citizens and tourists who visit the City of Memphis,” Jones said.
Lee Millar, spokesman for the area Sons of Confederate Veterans stated, “For over 125 years our organizations have taken a very active part in the maintenance, enhancement and promotion of these three historic parks and we have a special interest in seeing them maintained in their historic character and identification. It is fitting that the Appeals Court recognized this and that the wrongful renaming of these parks can be rectified. We will continue to press the issue until the rightful historic names of these parks are returned.”
The ruling sends the case back to Chancery Court for a full hearing.
Julianne Moore sucked in Hunger Games.
It’s nucking futs, the way people misspell stuff nowadays!
Right on!
Swap the letters at the beginning of both words... ;)
According to the Left, Washington and Jefferson were first and foremost "racist slaveholders," none of their other achievements matter. The PC Left would like to take their monuments down too, but they don't have the popular support on those targets (yet). So they go after easier targets which won't have the same name recognition and public support, like Stuart.
I always picture her in The Big Lebowski, flying around naked on a harness, screaming “vagina” repeatedly.
Name it Anchor Baby High.
“I suspect that every Hollywood star goes to his/her agent and asks for a pet cause to help his/her career.”
This is actually parodied by Sasha Baron Cohen in “Bruno”, where he decides that endorsing a cause will be his key to Hollywood superstardom. He hires a couple of bubble-headed bimbo consultants to help him find the “next hot cause”, telling them “You know how ‘Darfour’ is hot right now? What’s the new one? What’s ‘Darfive’?”
How about Victor Aureliano Martinez Ramirez High School?
Indeed. Julianne Moore is not aging gracefully. Her full frontal nudity movie scenes make you wonder, “What was she thinking?”
Being spiteful like that will give her the bitchy resting face.
Im shocked that crack head actually finished high school. Have read rumors that Moore likes to snort cocaine
J.E.B. Stuart is now an unperson.
If you challenge Leviathan, don’t lose. You won’t like it. They will erase you, everything you have ever been, and they will train your children to spit on your memory.
