Just more subtly so, which may even be worse. I'm not saying that the process leading up to the name change. I don't particularly care for "Justice High" and don't entirely understand why it was chosen over other, seemingly better alternatives. But the outcome is still better than keeping the school named after a traitor like Stuart. [/quote] No. The point was that it would NO LONGER have been named after Jeb. They could have removed all reference to him and just called it Stuart--as many had for years. Do you think of George Washington every time you hear "Washington, DC"? And, your other points show a lack of understanding of other issues. You are using today's lens. The fact is that Lee and others were part of the fabric of Virginia. [/quote]
