The School Name Offends Me - So...Rename it!

In San Antonio TX, the Northeast Independent School District (NEISD) board is currently looking on how to rename a high school once dedicated to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Because of all the Liberal turmoil surrounding statues, schools, and public displays honoring long lost Southern heroes, the board decided it was time to forget history. The NEISD dedicated Lee High School in 1958 and it took the board almost 60 years to decide that it was no longer fitting to honor Southern heroes!

Such Leftwing cone heads as Julian Castro, Nelson Wolff, and Ron Nirenberg all backed the renaming of Robert E. Lee. It is quite clear that Liberals in San Antonio “rule the roost”, but they really don’t have a great knowledge of history or may choose to ignore certain historical figures.

San Antonio has other schools that may be renamed if Liberal chowder heads get their way. Here’s a list of individuals who have schools in San Antonio named after them and who they were:

• Sidney Lanier…He was an American musician, poet and author. He served in the Confederate army. He worked on a blockade running ship. He was also a church organist, and worked as a lawyer.
• Claudia “Ladybird” Johnson…She was the wife of a born-again segregationist named Lyndon B. Johnson or the 37^th President of the United States. Lyndon Johnson was not a proponent of integration. As a congressional representative, he voted against every single civil rights bill that ever made it to the floor between 1937 and 1956.
• Thomas Jefferson…He was an American Founding Father who was the main author of the Declaration of Independence and later served as the third President of the United States. He was also a slave owner.
• James Madison…He was our fourth U.S. President. He was also a slave owner.
• John Jay…He was the first Chief Justice of the United States and a slave owner.
• G. W. Brackenridge…He was a philanthropist and the longest-serving Regent for the University of Texas. He was also a businessman who made his initial wealth as a profiteer during the Civil War. Three of his brother served in the Confederate army.

The list of schools to rename goes on. We cannot satisfy everyone who finds a name offensive. Maybe the NEISD wants to rename the school after Hillary Clinton’s clan hero Robert Byrd! Many of our schools are named after people of questionable reputation. For my part, take Barack Obama off the list of presidents and just say he was an egotistical tyrant!
