It would be best to go with a geographic name.

There were lots of hard feelings in the community over this name change.  It would be best to go with an inspirational name, such as one of the three in the OP.[/quote]

Those options are obviously deliberately divisive PC "payback" names. [/quote]

How is choosing the name of a Supreme Court Justice who lived in our community for decades a divisive PC "payback" name.  He was an accomplished member of our community, he's an obvious choice.  It's only divisive and "payback" to those who are only looking at his color as opposed to his accomplishments and his strong nexus to our community.  [/quote]

There is already a Marshall High School.  Enough said.

Those are two different arguments.  One is that it's confusing and one is that it's divisive PC payback.  I understand the first, explain why picking an accomplished member of our community is divisive PC payback.  It's not just a random black dude who accomplished nothing and has no nexus to our community.  He is extremely accomplished with a strong nexus, why is it PC payback to suggest his name?[/quote]
