The North East Independent School District in Texas was facing pressure to change the name of Robert E. Lee High School, amid national protests over the legacy of the Confederate general.
But officials were concerned about the estimated $1.3 million it would cost to remove and replace signs, redo a turf field, order new uniforms and make other changes large and small.
Public Education is unconstitutional, an illegal state sponsored church system for liberal ideology.
It's not Sarah Lee?
Teach history so we and our kids are smarter and do not repeat what older generations did wrong. Erasing it will only prolong ignorance
Gypsy Rose Lee
Buddy Lee. That'll fire up the football team.
For today's school board meeting I've brought a list of 50 famous Lee's to consider as replacements for Robert E. Lee as well as a cost analysis on alternative solution which is painting over the last 'e' in Lee so that it is the 'o' in Leo.
If you don’t want your kids to go to a school because of the name you have two options: homeschool or move districts.
This is simple, just change the history to say the school is named after the famous American, Stan Lee.
Why not keep Lee as the name and say it's named after Sara Lee. I mean 'Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee'.
I'd happily send my kids to Bruce Lee Elementary... brucelee
Lee Harvey Oswald Elementary School
Think of our congressional members as captains of pirate ships. Italian ships with crews of French scalawags on The Sea of Congress. They use wind to move the boats in search of land, gold, slaves, and power. And any excuse to real in a whale, like this one, will do.
great Nazi propaganda Kudos to the Nazi who wrote it
Harper Lee, who wrote 'To Kill A Mockingbird' would be the perfect appropriate choice
Nobody’s business what the southerners want to name their schools after Robert E Lee. It’s their choice. They see him as a hero.
He was a great General and actually more humanitarian than some of the Union General
So replace them with General Grant?
I don’t want US army bases named after them either.
Please write in! Now is the moment for this change.
Harper Lee?
Better than a sex deviant like MLK.
This 'news' narrative reeks of a 'not-so-veiled ELECTION ISSUE' for Southern voters despite having ZERO real value in these voters' lives vs. Inflation, Health Care, Education, Rising Pharmaceutical Drug Prices, Climate Change, et al. /s/ that actual relative of Robert E. Lee
I went to a Jefferson Davis middle school in South Florida during the height of the Elián González fiasco. And believe it or not, I did not have a good time.
There is one “greed” named paper in the country
Somebody needs to get a life
These are the same people who are just fine with Andrew Jackson being on the $20 bill
How many are named after Benedict Arnold?
Interesting how we forgive Japan,Germany, Italy, Russia, England,China Mexico , Viet Nam *+many more countries US had wars with* but can’t move on from Civil War.
Why don't we have schools named after more of our war enemies? The Bin Laden Academy or The Hideki Tojo Institute of the Arts?
there are schools named after George Bush ffs
Welcome to the new Republic. The DSA, Divided States of America! USA RIP...
Imagine naming a school over a rebel faction of your nation that literally fought to preserve slavery, killed hundred of thousands Americans, and almost brought the country to the brink of destruction. But you know heritage.
Disgusting. They were traitors to their nation and formed s confederacy to keep slavery and White supremacy.
If the left is so concerned about school names, build new ones and name them to your hearts content. The renaming crowd is great at virtue signaling, poor at building new stuff.
Erase history for the Bolsheviks!

Please don’t stop until the Washington monument and Jefferson memorial are torn down, all municipalities named after Washington or Jefferson are changed including any parks and street names.
After fifth grade these kids move to 'Hitler Middle School.' Home of the Fightin' Nazis!
Why do Americans teach their kids to look up to losers?
Who in the world would name a school after a freakin LOSER?
