A school district in Virginia decided to restore Confederate names to schools after they had been changed in response to public outcry. Gloria Carlineo, one of the board members who voted for the change, objected to the decision and said it did not take into account the community's heritage.

I don't for a moment believe that an 8th grader would be naturally inclined to contemplate these matters. An adult, intent on indoctrination, brought the historical name to her attention and made an issue out of it.

In my 8th grade yearbook, I have classmates that wrote, “Don’t pick too much cotton this summer.” That was in 2011.

You would be very surprised about youth awareness. And this “we are a nation of laws” defense is utter horseshit, a poor cover story allowing those who are members of the racial (and racist) majority to use their numbers to keep the names of traitors on public buildings. We’ve spent 150 years allowing lost cause revisionists to white-wash the treasonous aspects of the Civil War for nefarious purposes, soft-pedaling slavery and the monstrous reality behind this is that at least some of these very same people would be happy slave holders to this day if they could be.

So let me speak on the little 8th grade black kid. Im a black man. I would have voted to put it back. What those men fought for was wrong. They were immoral people who only cared about staying in power. They cared not for slaves. So i understand your thinking though there is fallacy. Let me explain, if that war did not happen, we would not have learned what we know today. Even those men who died now know they were wrong. They live on in there ancestors and can see this now. Im one of there ancestors although im black. How? Im mixed with white. Im a direct decendant of slave owners. All plantations were not the same. My family came from a poor one. That could only afford a few black people. And the few they had they treated well. They were christians. Taught us Christianity. Those men watch from stars as we were all getting along and the higher beings said, see what you did? Look at them enjoying and having children freely down there. You cannot be an atheist to understand the universe and working of god. And the gods within that one. Tampering with history does not change history. It still happened. What it will do is cause history to repeat. To put it back on corse. How does it do that? War! So when you bother stuff, you get war. As the insides of said ancestors will start it and finish it. You will learn what we already know and be enlightened. And i hope you find god in the end. Fact is, i know you will. Lol. There is no escape.

@RayfordRaySiegel 14 күн бұрын

History can't be changed, unless someone has a time machine. I'm not into tearing down statues, or changing names that represent history, in general, but sometimes it MAY be valid. The name of that school, at least, was changed to what it is now, because people were mad that black kids were going to be integrated there. This isn't even about changing the original name, or dishonoring history. I don't know what the original name is. I would like to hear the arguments, from both sides, though.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And while the confederate states were abolished they were a sovereign state. Many of their leaders however were classmates and former comrades of federal leadership during the time. Prior to the war breaking out both segments of the north american state known as us territories prospered in their own ways. So while the confederated state fought in part due to slavery like any state they fought for self government and choice as does any nation state. Thats why people want the schools names to be retained so we never forget the past. Because like all people past and present we all are flawed but we all have our contributions to society of a positive kind as well

These school names should not have been changed to begin with. These were knee-jerk reactions that spent money needlessly on a project that very few people really care about. MOST students don't care what the school is named. Often times, they don't even know WHO the school is named for, so there's that.

That's a stupid statement. I'm not some leftie, but both arguments should be heard. Also, everyone needs more education on the subject. Was he actually racist? Were the confederate army soldiers racist, or were they only fighting, because they had to, and not necessarily for the cause? This stuff needs to be talked about, to come to a conclusion. Also, the school wasn't even originally named after him. It was done, out of retaliation of integration of black students. If something is wrong against people, it doesn't matter that those people are the minority. They're still a part of it. You're implying that they don't count, because there are more people that aren't black.
