[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mascot is very unlikely to change based on what I’ve heard. Washington will stay part of the name and he was a general.[/quote]

It should just be The General.

And he should have a handle bar mustache and give you a quick rate on car insurance.[/quote]

Good call. Swapping Lovings for Lee means no more GeneralS. Now there is only one General.

I just cannot imagine who would have to be on that committee to to pick Loving. It is beyond stupid. [/quote]

Progressive and open-minded.  You are an idiot.[/quote]

NP.[b] It’s not unreasonable to ask why APS would consider renaming a school after a couple with no ties to Arlington or NoVa.[/b]  Do you always call people who aren’t as “progressive” as you are “idiots”?  That doesn’t sound very “loving” at all.

The kids and most in the community would despise that name.[/quote]

The other options on the committee list:
Washington-Lincoln: president, but wasn't from VA/Arlington
Tubman: no direct relation to VA/Arlington
Liberty: "value" that has no direct connection to VA/Arlington

The Lovings were from Virginia, and the SCOTUS case is titled Loving v. Virginia. I think it's kind of fitting to have a school named after them in the commonwealth of Virginia after they successfully beat the state's racist policies of the 1960s. [/quote]

Lincoln reviewed the Union troops in Arlington - look up the Grand Review.

Washington-Loving is such a stupid name.  [/quote]

Lmao. I guarantee you that Virginia vs. Loving is far more known by any Arlington resident than the 1865 Grand Review.[/quote]
