This. But also, attending a school named for a Confederate leader definitely has an actual impact on our children’s minds. It’s honoring people who fought for slavery, how could kids NOT think “It must not have been that evil if this person is honored.”?[/quote]

DP.  I also agree school names matter, but PP has a point they should do this quickly.  The past few years, in particular, has demonstrated that the School Board has limited bandwidth and that the time they spend on social justice initiatives takes away from time that could have been spent on other pressing topics. FCPS is falling apart in many other aspects and Brabrand has shown no signs he gets it. [/quote]
