[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a plan to rename a bunch of MCPS schools including RM and Blair. (despite his role in the Dred Scott decision)[/quote] Magruder is the only one on that list to submit a petition to the BOE to look into renaming. That's the first step.[/quote] There are 6 schools under consideration https://www.thesentinel.com/communities/six-mcps-schools-under-consideration-for-renaming-due-to-racist-namesakes/article_588b7f8c-483d-11ed-9ae5-3f181799a594.html#:~:text=The%20review%20found%20there%20are,Wootton.[/quote] Yup, “Richard Montgomery, Montgomery Blair, Colonel Zadok Magruder and Thomas S. Wootton. Two middle schools are also being considered, Francis Scott Key and John Poole.”[/quote] Yes but unlike Magruder, those school communities have not submitted a petition, so no action is happening.[/quote] From the article it seemed that they were all being studied petition or not.[/quote]
