Telling people not to be offended, while getting offended at the same time when the discussion comes to making a change seems a little hypocritical.

I stand for folks to be able to believe differently than I do, without being personally attacked for it.
I stand for my Family and Friends when they need me to do what I need to do in order to make them smile and be happy. When they stop smiling and being happy, I try and fix it.

Speaking of, you still haven't answered that question in post #46.

I dont believe they have any official documents referencing their ties to slavery, but we can get rid of them anyways for their founding policies that are constantly glanced over today.

Individual acts as opposed to an entire system representation of oppression are different to most.

All this person wants is to be able to thump his chest in front of his friends and say "I was the one that got that changed"...The left wing nut jobs have got to quit projecting today's ethics, morals, and laws on to things that happened 100, 200, 300 years ago when what they are protesting about now was legal. Next time a black person wants to throw slavery reparations in your face just bring up the fact that it was generally one African tribe that captured members of other African tribes and sold them to the white slave traders. And let them go protest slavery in other countries where it is still going on.

This is why the question "where does it stop" is so valid here.
Another fact is that history has been so twisted it's not even accurate anymore.

[QUOTE=Tubby;13533284]After almost a year, the school board held a meeting last night. There was a motion for the board to vote but there wasn't a second to the motion.
No second = no vote
The name will not be changed
