They wanted to honor a person, but rather than putting his name on it, they chose a name that's symbolic of one of his great achievements and also can be tied to an educational theme. I certainly don't expect anything new to come out about John Glenn to create a controversy, but even if it did, the name is still okay because it's tied to things that are bigger than just him rather than to him personally.


If John Glenn hadn't been a white guy they'd have named the school Glenn Elementary. It's not even debatable - we didn't name Fleet elementary after some general noun.


I thought it was because he wasn't dead yet.

And we call it "the Slide School".

I'm not sure I'd go as far as you, but the school board will do just about anything before addressing the real problems related to space.

Few in south Arlington care much about this. It’s a Distraction.


It *is* no big deal. Except to the white supremacists. And SA whiners.


You're kidding right? This whole thing is driven by NA liberals who feel guilty about being rich and have to moonlight as social justice warriors. SA goes to Wakefield. They don't give 2 Fs about W-L.


Please refer to the PP. Ms. south Arlington herself. Big focking whiner.


Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and write a check to cover the cost?


I donate plenty to APS schools. You?


No you don’t. If you care so much, foot the bill.

It’s costing a lot of money, and the county is strapped. Find a cheaper way to virtue signal.

Arlington is too cash-strapped to get rid of a Confederate name? Really?


Nope. It’s not. Plus, getting rid of a bunch of bus routes should cover it.

Exactly. Keep those schools walkable and segregated. Good stuff.

JFC why are you commenting if you don’t have a clue? No. Arlington doesn’t have space or money.
