[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the concept is not so off base, have the petitioners calculated the costs in changing the name.  It is not just a sign on the building.  It is all the uniforms, paper goods, computer changes, logos through out the school.  Some kids did not get Chromebooks and could not access distance learning well in the spring.  I would much rather $$ be spent on that or similar deficiencies if they are back full time in the fall.

Is your DC an ADOS? Because it is one thing to accept your child honoring a slave holder when your child is not descendent of enslaved people and another when that is part of your family’s history.[/quote]

Attending a school does not mean each student is honoring the namesake.

If the name is emblazoned on your jersey, it is. If you hang team photos in your living room with the name of a slaveholder written on your clothing, you are. [/quote]

My son's Eagle Scout certificate is signed by Trump.  We display it but in no way are honoring him.[/quote]
