I have heard that there were some concerns with the Lovings - she was very young when they met (11 or 12) and he was several years older, she was pregnant before they were married, preferred to say she was Native American, rather than African-American. I agree with just naming it after a value - who doesn't agree with Liberty?

Oh, please. Old people wanting to see their alma mater keep its name and their memories is far from a "tiki torch" crowd. Have a little compassion.

Certainly sounds that way.
Maybe racist. Maybe not. I don't know the mother. But, she is most certainly tone deaf and lacking in empathy. It's reasonable that minority students would not want to attend a school named after a Confederate, slave-owning, general.

Maybe listening to a dozen or so delusional old white people pretend Robert E. Lee was a saint rubbed her the wrong way.
There was not even close to a dozen delusional old white people who spoke tonight about Robert E Lee as a saint. Maybe, at the most one old man who was pretty obviously wacko and made no sense at all.
Only a slight exaggeration as to the age and tenor of the speakers. All but two were white, and quite a few of them were scary.
Scary??? Seriously???? No. Not one of them. If you are that easily scared by people who say something that you disagree with, maybe you’d better retreat to your safe space.

So if someone felt passionate about keeping the old name they are racist and belong with the tiki torch crowd.... There is no middle ground with people like you. Either someone has to agree with you or they are a horrible, racist person. And this is why you’ve got no credibility.
Liberal here, I agree with you +100
Oh, c’mon. You must not be liberal if you can’t see their body language was screaming “you will not replace us.” Fragile white snowflakes.

Who was the crazy-ass blond white woman in black with the banner who stormed out of the meeting before the final vote? Was she high?

They don’t have to agree with me. But if they are essentially foaming at the mouth when purporting to explain how vitally important it is to retain a racist, Confederate name on a school building, they are unsettling and best to avoid.

The same way they had compassion for the students who didn't want to go to a school named after a Confederate? Sure.

Why? It’s long past time for them to grow the eff up and realize that honoring a racist traitor sent the wrong message to students, particularly minority students.
