[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised people are so passionate about this issue. I am glad the school is being renamed because I don't think Lee should be honored. But after that, I do not care.

Folks will survive HS if it is named Washington-Loving and it will be offensive to no one. [b]I don't think the students of Loving HS of Loving, NM are constantly mocked.[/b] [/quote]

Really?  Really??? This is why you think students here won't be mocked if the name is changed to Washington-Loving?  Of course the name Loving HS in Loving, MN makes sense.  That's like having Arlington HS, in Arlington, VA. The Lovings have nothing to do with Arlington.[/quote]

I guess I really do not care if kids mock a HS name? Like I Honestly can't believe this is something that people are worried about. Folks are worried that another school will mock them during a football game? Like this is a legit concern of people? I thought mocking other schools during football games was par for the course?[/quote]

I don't really care why the kids don't like it.  They are the ones who have to live with it and should have some say, beyond a small group of students who were on the selection committee.

Put it to a vote of the student body with the top 2 choices --  Washington-Loving or Washington-Liberty.[/quote]

I mean they don't like it now. In a few years they won't be at the school. In a few more the name will be normal and not new and strange and no one will care. And in a few more they will realize how meaningless HS (and what it is named) is. [/quote]

That proves too much.  If the name is meaningless, why change it, much less to a new one that everyone knows will invite ridicule for at least the next several years. [/quote]
