[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the School Board devoted countless hours to debsting the Stuart renaming[/quote]

"Countless?" Come on. Do you know how many board meetings, committee meetings, working groups, and other sessions this year had nothing to do with the name change? See for yourself: http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=AAZFYB3D3E83. It took up a tiny fraction of the board's and staff's time.

Of course it was! On one side, you had proponents making the seemingly indisputable point that public spaces shouldn't be named after traitors. On the other were a clump of opponents with a bizarre fixation on keeping that traitor's namesake.

[quote=Anonymous]This is not cutting one's nose to spite one's face[/quote]

That's exactly what it is! You want to deny the school system hundreds of millions of dollars in funding because you didn't like that Stuart got renamed. Just be honest about it. [/quote]
