I don’t know exactly who said it but “erasing history and not learning about it will cause us to repeat it”, I believe to be very true. What people also forget and are never taught in school, is slavery was not about race or skin color, slaves were of all ethnicities and at some point in time every race, color, or ethnicity was enslaved somewhere in this world. So to me to be offended by this is just a cry for attention and absolutely ridiculous. I personally don’t agree with slavery, I have members in my family tree that served in the confederacy, but that’s just how things were 150 years ago, it was life, and I am proud of my heritage whether I think it was right or wrong.
To the OP... it’s a sad sad thing they are wanting to change the name of a school of a truly honorable man in my standards even though he was a slave owner. The soft libs already changed Robert E. Lee high school in San Antonio to Lee high school several years ago.
