[quote=Anonymous]yeah- the whole renaming George Mason is silly. The school was name for George Mason, who is primarily known as a founding father and father of the bill of rights. Yes, it is a true statement that he owned slaves- but neither the naming of the school nor his legacy is about his role as a slave holder. Contrast that to 'Stonewall Jackson' or "JEB stuart' primary historic contribution is fighting for slavery- and the naming of those schools done as part of apartheid to remind blacks 'of their place' and as a way of increasing fear and intimidation. One of these things is not like the other.[/quote]
