[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of ironic that there was an agenda for Justice Thurgood Marshall from the get go.... and in the end, the promoters had to concede that there can't be 2 "Marshall HS"s in FCPS.  So, they are going with just "Justice" --- which doesn't serve their original plan.

I thought the name should be changed b/c of the confederate connection.  But the promoters didn't have enough sense to recognize that Marshall was already taken.  So, that limited the momentum for other --better-- name options.  Now they are just hovering over the ashes of what they originally wanted.  And the school community is losing out on getting a good name that they can be happy with for a long time.  "Justice HS" almost seems like a court-ordered facility (like a detention center or alternative HS).  It doesn't  fit with the rest of the FCPS school names.

There is a Liberty MS in Clifton.  But Justice HS does sound like an alternative high school, and some schools with that name in other states are adjuncts to youth detention facilities.
