[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd urge people to watch the video of the meeting and listen to the board members' statements on their decision before making criticism. None of us had to listen to the public testimony and hear from people of color explain how they feel sending their kid to a school named after a slaveholder. Most board members made a distinction between memorials and universities and mandatory public education that kids are required to go to. I was impressed with the way they handled the issue and gave it serious thought. And for those that asked why now? The answer is that with a new high school, it is cheaper and easier to change the name now rather than later before all the signage gets built.[/quote] Are they going to change street names, too? Washington Blvd runs through Falls Church City.[/quote]
