[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we renaming George mason? [/quote] He owned over 100 slaves. Unlike some of the other Founders, he did not free them and make provisions for them in his will.[/quote] ... Like George Washington? Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which the US Bill of Rights was based upon. Seems like a keeper to me. But what do I know?[/quote] More than two thirds of FCC residents agreed with you and overwhelming voted to keep the names (for both George Mason and Thomas Jefferson elementary) in a public survey but the school board decided to overrule them.[/quote]
