[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at that meeting and there were two facilitators from FCPS who laid out a series of ground rules about being polite to one another. I think the woman in this video was reacting to that, and basically saying it's more important for white people to stand up for the civil rights of others, even when it means raising your voice. I also heard an opponent of the name change on the Kojo Nnamdi show last week. She made a lot of blatant misrepresentations about the school community and said FCPS was "broke" and couldn't afford the costs of changing the name. And then when Kojo called her on it, and asked if she'd go along with the change if it was paid for through private contributions, she hesitated and then said "no." Because history, or something. Never mind that the history in question was upholding slavery and then honoring a Confederate right around the time Fairfax County had to start coming to terms with Brown vs. Board of Education. [/quote] I heard that show. She showed her true (white robed) colors when she admitted it wasnt about the money, after arguing precisely that for 30+ minutes.[/quote] The same woman was on another radio show this week and embarrassed herself again with a bunch of hooey about how JEB Stuart was really against slavery. I think she must be a secret agent for the people who want to change the name. No one could be that clueless on purpose. [/quote]
