[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of us who aren't quite as eddicated as the rest of y'all, could someone please explain who the Lovings are and why they are in contention?[/quote]
Google it.[/quote]
Thanks so much for your help.  I'm sure Google is up to date on the rationale the committee is providing for its recommendation.

You are are too ignorant to even get up to spend on the basics. Start there.[/quote]

Not everyone's life centers around W-L under any name.  I am am (following your "are are" example) stupidly entrenched in elementary school boundary changes, which I naively believe is far more important in reflecting our values and providing education than the name of a high school.  But rest assured, I am now "up to spend" (I may be stupid, but I assume you meant "speed") on the basics.  However, I'm still ignorantly wondering who came up with the suggestion in the first place - was the committee handed a list to work from or did the committee develop the original list?

The whole process seems ridiculous to me.  If "Lee" is the objection, just drop "Lee" and be George Washington HS Generals.  I'd prefer Quincy HS.  But I'm too ignorant, so I'll assume that's a stupid idea.

The committee came up with the list using vague criteria, and then voted for the one they wanted on the final list and the name to present to the school board. And yes, there were student reps on it. The person presenting the name to the SB is a student rep. [b]They polled the SCA[/b], and the majority approved of Washington-Loving as a name.

And people wanted to keep the W-L acronym. That’s probably why they didn’t make it Quincy or George Washington high school.[/quote]

I think they need to poll the entire student body.[/quote]

It's a name only a politician, or aspiring one, could like.[/quote]
