Should Robert E. Lee High School be renamed?

[Marcuse]

[Hoyt]

1. This rant it great. He was on CNN or MSNBC this morning and said the Board voted to change name.

[Aristus]

2. Yes.

Or change the name to Hideko Tojo High School. There's another general who fought the USA and lost...

[Codeine]

4. Robert E Lee should have met the same fate as Tojo. nt

[ananda]

3. Houston has one, and also a Jeffererson Davis HS.

Both should be renamed.

[texasleo]

9. Houston's REL has been renamed

[empedocles]

5. Fairfax is starting a process to consider it's Robert E. Lee H.S.

Suspect many of the many Va. counties and towns have one.

6. Amazingly perfect rant. How did he know she was shopping online? (maybe there was a real time

camera transmitting to closed circuit tvs in the room?)

[Alacritous Crier]

7. WOW!

That was both inspired and inspiring. Bravo!

[raging moderate]

8. THIS GUY IS ON FIRE!

This guy is on fire, and also THIS GUY IS ON TARGET! This is a magnificent speech! Every sentence was a direct hit, accurately aimed! Thank you, Mr. Chambers! If you had not spoken, the stones beneath your feet would have risen up to say this!

[lark]

10. Awesome!

This man really lays it out and kept it 100% real. In case you were wondering, yes, he is a minister.

[brush]

11. Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's how it's done. Preach.

[raging moderate]

14. Yes, you are right! PREACH!

My Abolitionist Methodist minister ancestors woke up inside me, to applaud this sermon!

[jalan48]

12. Well said! This young man needs to be on the city council.

[tazkcmo]

13. Yes

How about Sorry Ass Traitor Lee HS? Maybe you all have better names...

[LeftInTX]

15. A local school board voted to rename a Lee high school.

They then said they would come back with a new name at their next meeting.

Afterward the announcement, there was a huge uproar against it by alumni. They still wanted RE Lee. School board came back with the lamest name, (compromise)
Legacy of Educational Excellence (LEE) High School.

I honestly think the original was better. I can never remember "Legacy of Education Excellence", so I and just about everyone else still call it "Lee High School".....Couldn't they have found another Lee?

I'm still pissed off about the whole thing. The alumni and some students didn't want to get rid of the Lee name, so they fucked up the name on purpose. They could have given it a nice name. Their decision was based on alumni and students (cheerleaders were the most vocal), not the community. They did not want "outside opinions". A lot of the LEE was to keep records consistent and balony like that.

Can you imagine saying: "I attend Legacy of Educational Excellence High School"...(Sounds like a freaking charter school)

[Maraya1969]

16. They need to change Lee county FL too.

[eppur_se_muova]

17. How about the Hon. Sheila Jackson Lee High School ?

That way they could keep their old uniforms and stuff.

[StarfishSaver]

18. Yes

[budkin]

19. Yes.

Absolutely.

[Marrah_Goodman]

20. WOW...that was amazing

[Johnny2X2X]

21. Unbelievable how the country has coddled these traitors for 150+ years

The South revolted against the USA and attacked it. They were anti American traitors and racists. How in the world did so many Americans become OK with honoring them?

And it has continued for too long. Here's a monument erected in 1999 in my area of the country, West Michigan. It's absolutely appalling and racist as hell.
