So Confederate, Sheila Jackson Lee will get to keep her names.

‘Bout effin time someone stood up to the wokeness! May I have some more, please?!!!!

Not good to honor either slavers or black radical favorites like Trayvon Martin. There are plenty of patriotic, freedom- loving-for-all Americans whose names could have been used.

The education board for a rural Virginia county voted early on Friday to restore the names of Confederate generals stripped from two schools in 2020, making the mostly white, Republican district the first in the U.S. to take such an action.

By a 5-1 vote, the Shenandoah County board overturned its 2020 decision that stripped a public high school and elementary school of their original names honoring three military leaders of the pro-slavery South in the Civil War.

No bias here! Interesting that they don't mention they were all Democrats...

We Texans want Fort Hood restored.

“Making the mostly Nazi population the first in the state to do so.”

Give me a freaking break from this yellow journalism.

These were 3 of the best generals fighting to preserve their ideas of the Republic. Lee himself spent the years after the civil war trying to reunify the country.

Good for them!

Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson were among the most honorable Americans ever.

[Sacajaweau]

Yes....so very important. The south was given full amnesty after the war. But these southern folks are entitled to honor those who fought for the south.

We're friendlier with Japan than we are with "OUR OWN" in the south.

good. excellent, even.

I’m not in favor of honoring people who take up arms against the United States. It’s ok with me to change the confederate place names. I don’t see how it’s any different than naming a school after a BLM leader. (But I’m sure someone here will school me.)

[MinorityRepublican]

I would have replaced Confederate “heroes” with our founding fathers such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, etc.

Hooray for them! Hopefully, this will prime the pump, and other towns will follow suit.
