[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The history behind Stuart HS is ugly. It got the name after Brown v. Board as FCPS's protest against integration. The name was meant to send a clear signal that if FCPS was going to be forcibly integrated, non-white children were not welcome. It is well past time for FCPS to put that chapter behind us. But, here's what puzzles me. And maybe someone has an answer. I clearly get the unhappiness about Stuart. But why are people not equally unhappy about Lee and Woodson?[/quote] Although the opponents of a name change at Stuart like to claim it's all being driven by a cabal of NAACP officials, the bulk of the support for the Stuart name change comes from Stuart students, parents, alumni, and community members. Not sure anything similar is happening at Lee or Woodson (and Woodson is known as much for expanding FCPS as for his hostility to integration). [/quote]
