I don’t strictly agree with changing names back, but it’s still conservative. What do y’all think?

    To me what’s important is when they were named.

    In this case it’s May 2024. Mountain View High School had its name changed to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary was changed to Ashby Lee Elementary in May of 2024.

      That’s just people protesting the recent changes. I suspect these were names in the 1960’s. That’s the common theme. As such I have no issue with them being renamed.

      That said I don’t live there and people have a right to govern themselves. I think this is just an anti “woke” thing but unless the school was honoring the confederate, which they rarely are, they shouldn’t have been named in the first place.
