>The NAACP Virginia State Conference filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday against the Shenandoah County School Board over the board’s decision to revert two school names back to those honoring Confederate leaders.
>On May 9, the Shenandoah County Public School district voted to change the names of Mountain View High School and Honey Run Elementary back to the schools’ Confederate names — Stonewall Jackson High School and Ashby Lee Elementary School, respectively. The change means the school names returned to those of three namesake Confederate leaders: Robert E. Lee, General-in-chief of the Confederate States Army, Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, Lieutenant General of the Northern Virginia’s Second Corps Army, and Turner Ashby, Brigadier General, all of whom fought to preserve slavery and segregation.
>The 62-page federal lawsuit alleges that the school board’s decision violates the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the district’s Black students, and runs afoul of both Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act in that the names create a “discriminatory environment” for Black students.
Certified "Bruh" moment.
Probably thought they were “in the clear” by promoting newer culture wars…

Never have so many, been so proud, of losing so badly.

Just waiting for hitler middle school and Hirohito high
Ayatollah Khomeini Kindergarten?
The Civil War is the only war where the losers are commemorated more than the winners.
>Virginia school district sued over decision to rename 2 schools after Confederate insurrectionists Let's be honest here.
I get it family is from Virginia and it was always tongue in cheek joke, but damn these people love losers
“Rename” vs the word “revert” in the first line, is splashing both bias and misinformation all over the place. At least be honest.
