[quote=Anonymous][quote]My agenda is for equity- which happens to be the agenda of the entire school district. The school is located inside the neighborhood of Rosemont but the student population includes much of the Parker Gray neighborhood as well. Rosemont was redlined until nearly the 1980s and was entirely white, it is still almost entirely white. The students that come from Parker Gray are mostly not white. Naming the school “Rosemont” would be identifying the school as a white school in a white neighborhood. That was the exact same mission behind naming a school after a confederate in the 1920s.[/quote] The recommended name (by the Superintendant) is going to be Naomi Brooks Elementary School, not Rosemont Elementary School. The chances of the name being something other than what the Superintendant recommends are nil. [/quote]
