Awwwwwwwwwwwww.... doncha just love it when the newly established Politically Correct "right to not be offended by anything at any time" blows up in the face of a left-wing icon like Cesar Chavez?

If common sense still reigned in America, and 75% of the population wanted the school named after Chavez, the majority would rule. But since the Left has established and so forcefully enforced the "right to not be offended" rule, the leftwingers who support Chavez are, as they say, "hoist on their own petard". Just goes to show, justice can sometimes seem ironic.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Political Correctness, nor am I sympathetic to Cesar Chavez and the neo-coms who support him. I just like the idea of local control over local issues, with the will of the majority presiding.

In other words, there's no good reason why if we can have high schools all over America named after Martin Luther King, that there should not also high schools named after the likes of J.E.B. Stuart or Stonewall Jackson, if the majority of the community likes it that way.

Just my $.02 worth...

It was worth at least a $1.00.
