[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] [b]On your theory we should be okay with Hitler too. He was respected in Europe at one point.[/b] There is no papering over history going on. So the Union Army respected them, that doesn't mean we should celebrate them by keeping their names on the schools. Papering over history would be trying to not teach about them in school. I'm all for teaching about them in school because as humans, we learn from past mistakes. Not continuing to name schools after them, however, is saying we no longer think they should be held in high esteem. That is showing that we have changed over time, which is also a part of our history. [/quote] Whether the schools should be named after Confederate generals is the issue. But, please note, Robert E. Lee is not comparable to Hitler in any way. And, there is a difference between being "respected" and "feared". [/quote] The better comparison isn't Hitler, it's Heinrich Himmler. [/quote]
