Naming schools after treasonous Generals leading an army in the preservation of slavery probably shouldn't be glorified by naming an institution of learning. The losing side doesn't get the benefit of the doubt simply because a poor decision was made ages ago. Still sad they celebrate Robert E Lee day in some states.

Same with the losers of the US-Indian wars

Yeah and I find it hard to believe that during Black Lives Matter they wanted to destroy statues in honor of Lincoln..... Go figure....
 
Just call them the "snortin Floyds" or some other woke name to make people feel good about themselves and their history. That will fix all of America's issues and lead to true equity in the workplace etc.

We have statues of George Floyd, convicted felon, drug abuser and overall model citizen. Surely a school out in west Texas can be called Lee
 
Both can be unnecessary
Where does it end? How many more hurt feelings will it take to stop attempting to cancel everything?

Just because people are offended, that doesn’t make them correct.

I talked to a tiger last week, he was offended that their name was being used as a mascot. He was particularly upset with the way Kellogg’s marginalized Tony THE Tiger and the way they have him portrayed on those cereal commercials.

What drugs do you have to be on to talk to tigers? I'll take 10.

What people forget is Lincoln and general grant could have been very cruel to the officers, soldiers and citizens of the south. But they chose to unify and pardon them for the good of the nation. Blm was far from anything like that

Congress passed a law in 1958 I believe that protects confederate veterans all graves and monuments are protected from desecration same as defiling the ww1 ww2 Korea war veterans graves. The most disgusting thing is a monument for a career drug user and criminal in George Floyd, thats a pretty sad era in American history
 
Don’t be so soft, but imagine your kids could go to:

Pol Pot Elementary
Mussolini Middle School
Hitler High School
Which should be in the same light as Lee, Benedict Arnold, and all other traders.

The statue thing is not really a hill I would die on but I don't see why people who were treasonous to our country should have a statue erected in their name. And I agree that the George Floyd statue is ridiculous. Does California have a Rodney King statue?

Learned quite a bit about Pol Pot this summer while in Cambodia. Its pretty surreal to be able to walk around in a killing field and see bones still in the ground. The country as a whole has a pretty young population due to the millions killed in the late 70s
