Name changes

[Gonz]

WTF???

A substitute teacher in Virginia is angling to change the names of Robert E. Lee Elementary and Jefferson Davis Middle schools because they are psychologically damaging to the black students who attend them, reports The Associated Press.

Erenestine Harrison said the schools in Hampton, Va., named for the Confederate leaders are inappropriate. She wants the schools to bear names of people she considers better role models for children.

WAVY

Good grief! You mean Ms Harrison actually believes those kids know their US history and recognize those names?

Well, I'm offended by the fact that you went to the little girls room without mentioning anything about taking off your pants.

Who the fuck cares about the name of the damn high school? Next they'll say, "Blank B. Blank want the name of Robert E. Lee removed from the history book "The American Civil War" because she want it to have the name of a better role model for children who read the book."

Robert E. Lee was a fine role model! I'm offended they have decided to rub a white person's name in the dirt simply because they don't see him as a good role model. As if Bill Clinton is so much greater a role model. "I want to grow to be the president and I want to fuck with aaalll the interns." *gasps*
