    Unbelievable BS.

    "A Virginia school board voted unanimously Tuesday to rename two schools named after Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and George Mason due to their owning of slaves — even after the majority of community members said they opposed the idea.

    The Falls Church School Board voted 7-0 to rename Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and George Mason High School following a six-month-long process sparked by the George Floyd unrest."

    I'm getting so dizzy. The moral high ground has ever reached this altitude.

    Wait a minute! What? I imagine this isn't just feel-good lip service from a bunch of ne'er-do-wells for appearances about something that happened 250 years ago and has no particular relevance here today, no. Because what about all the alleged child and sex slave trafficking today that democrats are making themselves renown for -- you know the illegal trafficking they've been accused of severally and have never denied?

    Is it not slavery because democrats are doing it?

    Democrats are denying it all that I've seen. But then, the rotten media in this country isn't investigating either, are they? They are laughing, however.

    Of course the school board's posturing is just lip service to pacify the taxpayers on the taxpayers' tab. These are democrats -- largely bad faith actors and liars looking to take over and gut this country while wearing smiling faces in another feel-good act, as if it couldn't be them that's the biggest problem the country faces, n-o-o-o.

    Thank God they've come out against Jefferson and Mason! Yea! I feel safe now!!!

    Rotten to the core is what they are.

    Yes, we've gone to hell in a handbasket and still in freefall, the swamp workers in our northern counties effectively control statewide elections. We're becoming California minus the sunny climate.

    When democrats do anything unusual, attention-getting and quasi-momentous, you always, always, always ask, what is it they are trying to cover up? That's almost a law of democrat politics.

    It's just the beginning folks. Soon they will demand even more things to erase our history.

    I suppose we will get a few thousand more MLK things to replace it all though.

    I am persuaded that sex trafficking is real, and it has a government highway system.

    No. MLK streets, schools and statues need to be torn down so women and gays can feel safe.

    The people who are not supposed to feel safe probably never heard of these two guys. And is it part of the teaching curriculum to teach kids who owned slaves? Do they every teach the kids who captured and sold them?

    Ditto.... Founding fathers should be safe everywhere (except for the pinhead(s) who came up the Electoral College).... Confederate Generals should be removed (except in military parks and museums).

    As an aside, I have relatives who went to George Mason University and James Madison University. I don't see any way those will change so I don't know why they'd change the pre-college schools. It's the same people...

    Mystifying...

    There is a Thomas Jefferson Jr. High School in my city. I attended it many years ago.
    There is also a Martin Luther King Jr. High School in my city. So I guess it's OK. :nod:

    At some point you’re going to realize it’s about erasing white history, identity and culture. Hence why it’s still mystifying for you.

    Any school child over 10 years old who never heard of Thomas Jefferson is not getting a good education.
    I believe kids should be taught about the enslavement of Africans in high school history classes. It's an important part of our history.

    Or maybe it's about getting rid of the symbols of White Supremacy so that a time of reconciliation can be ushered in.

    Why do you even care?

    It’s not your school district. How they name their schools is their business.

    Not because you view any period of time in white history before 1960 and maybe later as being white supremacist in nature.

    Um the machine you are typing on was created by "white supremacy", the language you are speaking was created by "white supremacy", the car you are driving was created by "white supremacy", the film industry was created by "white supremacy", journalism was created by "white supremacy", every popular sport on the planet was created by "white supremacy", every 1st world political system on the planet was created by "white supremacists", every significant scientific breakthrough for the past few centuries was achieved via "white supremacy", nitrogen based fertilization and the explosion of crop yields was created by "white supremacy". Do you think it is an accident that the places where blacks succeed the most are white majority? More importantly, what do you think will happen when the white majority become white minority? Will black success increase or will it implode like it has in South Africa/Zimbabwe?

    Some white history needs to be not celebrated by naming things after it.... T.J. and G.M. are NOT 2 examples of this...
