[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mascot is very unlikely to change based on what I’ve heard. Washington will stay part of the name and he was a general.[/quote]

It should just be The General.

And he should have a handle bar mustache and give you a quick rate on car insurance.[/quote]

Good call. Swapping Lovings for Lee means no more GeneralS. Now there is only one General.

I just cannot imagine who would have to be on that committee to to pick Loving. It is beyond stupid. [/quote]

Progressive and open-minded.  You are an idiot.[/quote]

Well, it's something all right. I don't object to the idea behind the new name, but it's just a bad name for a school. Like, if there were a real-life person who had done something amazing but was named Seymour Butts, I wouldn't want a school named in his honor. But if 14-17 year olds are suddenly so evolved that Washington-Loving won't be a joke, go for it. [/quote]

If John Glenn had lived in Arlington for decades and his name had been John Loving instead, it would be one thing.

But the Lovings had no connection to Arlington, aren’t well known locally, and are being pulled out of a hat because they are associated with a civil rights lawsuit and their last name began with “L.”

It is certainly random enough to ensure that the word play on the name will persist for years, if that’s really the name picked. [/quote]
