[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please tell me this is a joke.

If I had a kid at Woodson, I'd be so annoyed. I just bought all the uniforms and gear for my kids - sports, PE, band, etc. I would not be buying anything new for my kids. And I guess the neighborhood will have to paint over all those Ws on the streets?

This is all just so damn stupid. It's a waste of time and resources when the school board could be worried about bigger things like - I dunno - education. [/quote]

I have kids and woodson and want a name change. I will buy new uniforms and a magnet for my car. [/quote]

That's great if you want to do it on your dime.  But you no doubt don't plan to pay for:

Uniforms - every WTW sport team
Band and other uniforms
Gym floors and athletic fields
Signage
Stationery
Banners at other schools in the Patriot District 
FCPS external and internal web sites
Other IT-related costs

If there were any evidence that FCPS named this school after Woodson because he held segregationist views, that might point in a different direction.  But since there isn't, asking taxpayers to foot a large bill because you've decided decades later he should be cancelled is a bit much.  [/quote]
