who cares
Whitewashing history
Well, I guess they'll use semitic or democrat names? Selective history; now where have we seen this before?

Another great accomplishment.
However the confederate leaders contributed a lot to US history today at the beginning of the nation with the founding father.
Very very sad.
Bravo! Hopefully more high schools follow!
Wonderful! Traitors shouldn't be honored.
The Lords work continues to be done
Sad
Good traitors shouldn't be honored
