[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They specifically made it their ultimate decision so they could look at all the votes and consider factors such as a majority of the votes going to names associated with ending segregation of schools, while 18 percent selected Stuart. [/quote] No, the majority did NOT select names associated with ending segregation of schools.[/quote] That is true, but Marshall litigated the Brown v. Board of Education suit, which included a lawsuit in which Johns was a plaintiff, and Marshall and Johns collectively received both far more weighted votes and far more votes than Stuart. I don't see how the Board sees that as anything other than a mandate for change, particularly when you also take into account other names that received a lot of votes, such as Peace Valley, Mendez, Munson Hill, Crossroads and Anderson. Most people want a new name that is not Stuart, and they want it sooner rather than later. [/quote]
