Duval County School Board votes to change name of N B Forest highschool
Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Confederate General and Grand Wizard of the Klan. You would not imagine the the trouble they had to go through to finally get this name change approved. The name change will happen at the end of this school year.
Duval County is Jacksonville, Florida (or as I call it, Extremely South Georgia)
