Always with the backlash:
The education board for a rural Virginia county voted early on Friday to restore the names of Confederate generals stripped from two schools in 2020, making the mostly white, Republican district the first in the U.S. to take such an action.
I’m totally surprised by this, said no one ever. They lost.
The proposal voted on was initiated by a local conservative group, the Coalition for Better Schools, which cited the "cultural significance" and "historical context" of the original names.
More lost cause BS, they just can’t get away from it.
Speakers on the other side countered that such symbols and memorials are vestiges of a racist ideology that has perpetuated a sanitized "Lost Cause" myth of the Confederacy as well as the Jim Crow era of racial segregation and discrimination that followed the Civil War.
They’ll just cost themselves more money when it gets switched back eventually.
Losers, but they still just don’t know it.
