[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is any one of the (non joke) names in this thread would be just fine.  The problem is everyone thinking they deserve some input on the matter and the school board encouraging that. There are already 12 of them who were elected to handle making decisions.  They should do their jobs and pick something.  
The same could be said for most of the whole boundary process as well.  Too much hemming and hawing, and avoiding just doing the things they were put in there to do.[/quote]
That is how we got Justice.

So? I don't care that it's named Justice. No one does. It's fine. Your opinion that the name is "too woke" or whatever your problem is with it doesn't matter. It's just a name.  As long as it isn't something offensive it's fine. They should stop spending effort on this when there are so many other issues that need to be settled much sooner - like the boundary review and the new high school boundaries, plus all the other issues the school board should be dealing with if this were a "normal" year with no boundary stuff.[/quote]

It's a right-wing thing to have an issue with "Justice High School."  They'd be fine with Liberty HS, or Freedom HS, or Independence HS, but Justice HS puts them on edge.

Justice HS got its name because Sandy Evans was most aligned with a group of folks who wanted to rename JEB Stuart HS after Justice Thurgood Marshall, but her School Board colleagues opposed another Marshall HS when there was already George C. Marshall HS.  So "Justice" was a nod to Justice Marshall, but also allowed them to say they were honoring others whose names had been suggested and who had advocated for equal opportunity for all.
