Washington-Loving

1 - Would the newly proposed name be on the shortlist of candidate names, if we weren't trying to retrofit the "W-L" abbreviation?

2 - How much money is really being saved by keeping the "W-L" abbreviation?

3 - If the answer to #1 is NO, is the savings from #2 really worth picking a name that will likely last for many decades?

I find it hard to believe that we are not being penny wise and pound foolish trying to pick a name that will retain the "W-L" abbreviation.


APS penny wise and pound foolish? That never happens. Oh, wait....it's the Arlington Way.

Tell the School Board this too. It may have no impact but at least you will have tried.

Maybe listening to a dozen or so delusional old white people pretend Robert E. Lee was a saint rubbed her the wrong way.

There was not even close to a dozen delusional old white people who spoke tonight about Robert E Lee as a saint. Maybe, at the most one old man who was pretty obviously wacko and made no sense at all.

Only a slight exaggeration as to the age and tenor of the speakers. All but two were white, and quite a few of them were scary.

Did they say why they picked Liberty? Thank goodness because the other name sounded so stupid.

Scary??? Seriously???? No. Not one of them. If you are that easily scared by people who say something that you disagree with, maybe you’d better retreat to your safe space.

Their words were silly and easily rebuttable, so it wasn’t what they said that was scary. What was scary was their demeanor and how angry and on edge most of the old white speakers were. You could just tell that much of their self-worth was wrapped up in the old name and how easily they would have fit in with the tiki torch crowd. Yuck.

Oh, please. Old people wanting to see their alma mater keep its name and their memories is far from a "tiki torch" crowd. Have a little compassion.
