[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was it renamed?[/quote] John Mosby was a Confederate soldier, the Mosby Woods neighborhood was named after him, and the school was named after the neighborhood. Even though Mosby was a good friend of Ulysses S. Grant after the war ended, and appointed U.S. consul to Hong Kong after the Civil War, his past Confederate service led the School Board to conclude a few years ago the school should be renamed. "Mosaic" was an odd choice, though, since the school doesn't serve the Mosaic District (the kids who live in the Mosaic District go to Fairhill ES). [/quote] Woke ignorance at its finest. This is what the school board was focusing on instead of opening up schools. [/quote] Hey look, a stupid post. Shocker.[/quote]
