[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are likely at least three dynamics going on: 1. Among students, white jocks (especially boys, and with the support of some parents/teachers) will rally behind the existing name; in that environment, minority students often feel pressure to go along with those kids and say they don't care about the name or that alternatives are "stupid." 2. Those advising APS will be drawn largely from self-professed "progressive" ranks and will try to outdo one another in coming up with names that repudiate Lee and "Confederate values." [b]3. The School Board members have already decided on the new name and will just sit back until they have to make a decision. [/b] [/quote] I expect the Board will be happy to approve this name to make themselves look more progressive while they continue to support school segregation in every boundary decision.[/quote]
