School Board to Rename Mount Vernon High School
Posted by: Politically inept ()
Date: May 25, 2016 11:08PM

Another Fairfax County school has been added to the list of those to be renamed.

Already on the block are three schools named for Virginia historical figures: J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee, and W.T. Woodson.

Now comes a proposal to rename Mount Vernon High School. As everyone who visits the privately-owned Mount vernon estate knows, it was a massive slave plantation owned by George Washington. However, unlike other slave owners in the area, Washington refused to allow his slaves to learn to read or write, so much of the history of these families is lost forever. One known event was the rape of one of Washington's slave by his own adopted son, which led to a birth and lineage that still survives today.

The retention of Mount Vernon as a tourist attraction is a painful reminder to the descendants of the slaves who were abused at the plantation. While the Government cannot force a renaming of the estate, empathy dictates that the nearby high school be renamed, as well as the magisterial district.

yes Washington owned slaves just like any other rich people back then but you forget washington set a precedent by leaving in his will for his Slaves to be freed upon his wife's death. In 1801 his wife freed them all. he may have well have been the one that started the whole debate that led to the end of slavery 60 years later. There is a reason why our founders wrote in the constitution that ALL men were created equal. They KNEW this would lead to discussions over the legality and morality of slavery eventually. The time was just not right during their lifetime.

"ALL" men did not constitute black men in the 18th century mindset.

Not for most people, but some of the founders did acknowledge the fact that slave ownership was wrong but the political climate at the time and also their own personal feelings on the matter did not let them take the "All Men" to truly mean everyone at the time. It has also been found in their testimonies and journals that while the discussed changing the wording because of slavery they left it in there knowing it would create future discussion. They had no belief that slavery would end anytime during their lifetime nor did they most likely want it too. Jefferson was a self described Racist. The washingtons atleast freed theirs upon their death. They should get some credit for that atleast.

Please explain how renaming a school named for a notoriously brutal slaving plantation is intolerant.

It was not notoriously brutal, you libtards like spinning things around. The real facts are that he was rumored to be brutal to his slaves compared to those around but he was also said to be one of the most tolerant owners too. Honest answer is no one alive today really knows how brutal or not he was. He must have been tolerant enough since he did have it written in his will to free his slaves upon him and wifes death.

Technically that was contained in the Declaration of Independence.

GW's estate is a brutal slaving plantation? Why don't you just raze it you fucking loser Bolshevik/Red Guard/Brownshirt? And while you're conducting your personal Cultural Revolution, go ahead and tear down Monticello and Gunston Hall as well you idiot.
