Dallas ISD is researching the histories of Ben Franklin, Sam Houston, Thomas Jefferson and 17 other historical figures, looking into whether their connections with slavery or the Confederacy should prompt reconsideration of their names on DISD campuses.
Last Thursday, DISD administration recommended changing the names of four schools honoring Confederate generals: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston and William L. Cabell elementary schools. During that discussion, it was mentioned that there is a much broader list of at least 21 names that bear further investigation, if trustees were compelled to do so.
OMG, Sam Houston in Texas????
It’s time for the public to pick up pitch forks and go after these idiots.
Ping.
If Texas allows history to be erased, we are in deep trouble.
Just shows how leftist the big cities in Texas (indeed everywhere) are.
Dallas is getting Austinized.
Are they aware Dallas was in the confederacy? Anyone with a problem with these things should probably move north of the Mason Dixon line...or die.
Franklin was our first true Renaissance man. Idiots.
Tar.
Feathers.
It’s time for the public to pick up pitch forks and go after these idiots.
My thoughts exactly.
It also shows the giant disparity between Dallas County and its metropolitan neighbor to the West, Tarrant (Fort Worth.)
Tarrant always votes republican in the nationals and most state, Dallas goes for the Demonic-rats.
Exactly!
Screw these idiots. I’m sick of this “s”.
“:^)
“Franklin was our first true Renaissance man. Idiots.”
He was also a noted abolitionist.
It’s pretty clear this nonsense isn’t going to stop unless and until it IS stopped.
More like they'll be home cleaning and polishing their guns, if they own them. No one is taking up arms in this country. It isn't the 1700s and 1800s any more.
I don’t see how he can be on the list!
The Left is giving the full Alinsky treatment to every U.S. historical figure. The end goal is to destroy all of them and ultimately to undermine and destroy the U..S. as not being “pure”.
Conversely, leftists groups like Antifa are fully enamored with communism; the prime practitioners of which like Mao or Stalin executed 10s of millions of their own people. That’s ok by the Leftists.
Who cares what they "recommend"? They should be ignored.
White == bad. The left intends a genocide of white people. Genocide always begins with demonization.
