[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I saw one article about a high school changing its name, the cost was $400,000. Is that too much for you, or not enough to fight it? [/quote]

There are two schools under discussion.  [b]I am pretty sure it will cost more than 400K each.[/b]  No, it is not worth it.

Based on what?

Anyway, where would you draw the line?  At $250k each, $100k each?  At what point does cost become a side issue?  (To me, under $1m each makes cost a side issue.  But you disagree with that.)[/quote]

I think PP was alluding to an article about changing Nathan Bedford Forrest HS in Florida, which reportedly cost around that amount.

Even if it costs more in Fairfax, it needs to be done.  [b]It sends exactly the wrong message to black and other minority students. [/quote][/b]   I don't think anyone but some of the crazies on here are getting that message.  To most people it's just what the school is called.  Let's keep the focus on education.  [/quote]
