Julianne Moore: rename my high school
CNN ^ | 8/25/15 | Brandon Griggs

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."

Know the difference between Julianne Moore and a troop of midget acrobats?

The latter are cunning runts.

George Washington owned slaves, who were freed upon his death. I guess it is time for the crazies in Seattle to remove his name from all schools and choose a new name for their state.

That would make quite an online petition.

I’ve said it before, if we are going to go down this path, let’s go all the way. Remove the name of every single Dixiecrat Democrat politician from every single road, building or other structure that they are on. Wipe out the history of the Democratic Party, pre-1960 from every single public structure.

My reply to miss Moore is "Blow it outta your butt hole"

On the other hand my reply to you is let's start with the Grand Kleagle of the KKK Robert Byrd. Remove that B@$TARDS name off of everything.

Communists always erase the history of a place they conquer. It’s standard operating procedure, and our “liberals” and Blacks think that is just great when it’s the history of the South, which they hate. When they start attacking Martin Luther King and other icons, there may be a few dissenters.

Eff her.

It’s their school: Whatever the parents and students want, it’s up to them in my book.

She and the rest of these PC nuts can just go pound sand, but I’m thankful they have the gall to make their positions known so we can all stop feeding their income stream...

I get your point on the Chinese and Pol Pot being better at cultural revisionism but you have to hand it to Stalin on the photo-chopping before Photoshop.

What a dope. Guess she doesn’t care about Robert E. Lee High School in Springfield—also part of the Fairfax County Public Schools. What about Mark Twain Middle School? Didn’t he use the n word? Then there’s Mosby Woods Elementary. They’ll just have to rename the entire area first.

I do like her full frontal nudity scenes, however.

I agree with her. And don’t name it after another Democrat!

Actually, it is unclear what party J.E.B. might have been affiliated with but his father was a Democrat and a politician. Someone will point out that Dems today are different then Dems back then. Yes. I get it. Still, given the party’s violent past, we shouldn’t name anything after Democrats.

She should spend her time looking for a nose.

P.S.: I love Jeb Stuart! Handsome man, great warrior.

You’d have to rename every road in West Virginia!

Why not just rip out the pages from history books, 1861-1865. Refer to those years as THE YEARS THAT SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED.
The while ISIS is destroying the ancient monuments of the Middle East, WE can be destroying all evidence of those years 1861-1865.
