[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Obviously there weren't two Marshall Highs before so it wasn't an issue. I predict the kids will say they either go to GCM or Thurgood. It doesn't seem like a big deal, and worth it if we can dispense with the Confederate names. [/quote] You are not concerned at all about the expense? [/quote] [b]The schools have some wealthy alumni[/b], and minority students should not attend schools named after generals who fought to preserve slavery and white supremacy. FCPS was going to call these schools Franconia HS and Munson Hill HS until they decided Lee and Stuart were better names to demonstrate their resistance to integration. The names are anachronisms and need to change. [/quote] You want to hand over the bill to the alumni? You're crazy.[/quote]
