A teacher hangs a BLM flag at a school named for a Confederate general. Now she's under investigation

@DMK

Would they feel safer with a different name? Would they get a better education with a different name?

Is the renaming of the school a physical safety issue?

@PurpnGold

Forget about the slavery piece for one second…

He lost. Why are we honoring generals who lost a war against the US government?

If you want to play hypothetical, what if he’d won?

@DMK

For the same reason they want to tear down statues and erase history.

History is being erased by renaming the school?

My ex went to Lee-Davis High School. Now… i can kind of understand that name being a thing in Virginia… Florida… quite strange.

BTW… Lee-Davis changed it’s name last year.

We’ve seen where we would be with white conservatives calling the shots.

I’m one of those white conservatives. You seem know what I would do. So what would that be?

[PurpnGold]

@DMK

Never said because we’ve always done it that way.

Quit putting words in my mouth that I didn’t say.

Dis you?

@DMK

Do you have any idea how long that school has existed under that name without any issues until now?

Why did you feel the length of existence is important?

[DMK]

@PurpnGold

I have no suggestions on what to rename it to. It just should not be named after a loser general who fought to keep slaves.

LOL, that is not the sum total of who he was and you know it.

What I stated was not a hypothetical. Lee lost.

What you stated (What is Lee won) is a hypothetical.

I do not care if a high school changes its name.

I do care if it changes its name due to pressure to being woke.

Civil rights pre CRA

Are you saying I would remove civil rights? Based on what? You wishing it were true?

It puts race ahead of compassion.

It is a divisive stance.

It is not a plea for humanity and compassion which is what is needed.

@PurpnGold

Dis you?

I have no idea what that means.

Dismissing me?
Is this you?

@PurpnGold

Caving to the pressure of the woke is not what anyone should ever do.

If they want to rename their school? Fine. A new street, so it is now aligned with the name of the street? I’m fine with it.

But, if it is renamed because it is the woke thing to do, I’m not fine with it.

You personally? No…

What would make renaming the school “not woke”? Under what circumstance would you accept renaming the school?

Ejecting the Confederacy is barely “woke”.

Yes, he did. He is more than a General who fought for slavery and you know it.

@PurpnGold

You’re very good at throwing hypothetical’s on the forum. Care to answer the question?

[DMK]

@PurpnGold

Anything not politically motivated.

If the school has been designated into a new county? Fine. Name it XYZ County High School.

Then give me some names. Any names who have shown a desire to roll back civil rights.

This whole movement is so stupid.

Worse, is folks cannot see it is made to divide rather than to unite.

If Lee won… You and I would not be talking under these circumstances. Thank God he did not.
