[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They never even teach the kids about the people after whom the schools are named anyway. I’d be in favor of just numbering them. [/quote] Eighth graders in MCPS learn about Washington and Jefferson in USH. Many of my students last year were shocked to learn that Washington not only owned slaves, but tried to find and reenslave ones who ran away. [/quote] Did you happen to teach them that slavery was ubiquitous around the world, and that Washington and the other Founders put their lives on the line to bring the values of the Enlightenment to the "common man"? That without them, we wouldn't have the freedom of speech to argue about the horrors of slavery?[/quote]
