After two years of intense and acrimonious community debate, the Fairfax County School Board is scheduled to approve a resolution on July 27 to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School.

With that date rapidly approaching, Governor Terry McAuliffe has awarded a $50,000 high school innovation grant to Fairfax County Public Schools to develop programs that emphasize personalized learning; college, career, and civic readiness; and alignment with local workforce needs. FCPS was among five school divisions to receive an initial planning grant.

The FCPS grant was awarded to J.E.B. Stuart High School to create a curriculum to meet the instructional needs of English learners and students with little formal education, while providing opportunities for mentoring, career exploration, and internships. The instructional program will focus on literacy, numeracy, and workforce readiness.

English learners are among those who will be most negatively impacted by the name change, according to studies completed by FCPS.

That socialist would probably like to name every school in the state after Jeremiah Wright and Michael Brown.

Are they going to change the name of Thomas Jefferson HS next? Didn't that cracker own a bunch of slaves?

So it cost more than 50k to change the name, what the hell sense does this make? Hopefully the school board will continue to get an earful prior to July 27, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Rename it (abolitionist) John Brown High School

Didn't you hear, there's a new SJW version of Mount Rushmore:

No, I head they were going to dynamite off the face of tree-hugging, National Park loving Theodore Roosevelt and "great emancipator" Lincoln and replace them with George Wallace and David Duke.

The only name I have heard floated is "Thurgood Marshall" --doesn't that sound like something our SB would choose--we already have a Marshall High School. No confusion there.

I would suggest in the future that we name schools geographically. One of the reasons they did not do that when they named the schools was concern over regional disputes. At least, I read that somewhere.

I'd name it after Richard Spencer or David Duke - Trump is too easy

How is J.E.B. Stuart going to spend $50K to "develop a curriculum?" That's Gatehouse work.

those fucking foreigners know all about name changes

the mother fuckers steal USA written source code and change names on things simply to make it stop working - without changing any functionality

for the record many hated Lincoln north and south after details about him became better know. his statue sits immense as a reminder of what hot headed spenders can do to a society - fucking kill half of it: it's not there to promote or fight racism. Liconlns first calling card was having many kids going into debt despite very high gov pay, and blaming it on DC and the south - but he wasn't the only one doing that.

the generals or soldiers were known for loyalty and bavery and were at death penalty had they not served, and they fought for their loved ones

Can't you practice a little self-discipline and not get all liquored up until at least 5:00pm?

So many BIGGER things to worry bout but let's change school names bc some coloreds get offended....here's a news flash: despite changing the name, you will still be lazy, multiple baby daddy, smelly, cook everything with flour, having outrageous diameter wheels, and have greasy hands in winter with your cheap dollar general lotions!

Sam Cooke was WRONG!
Change AIN't Gunna come!

Go back to Petersburg or South Carolina.

It's for the best. And let's be clear, beyond morality, this is about chasing money/investments/developments and you are not doing the kids any favors applying to colleges & national/international jobs *lol*. The world is simply more global than it was when these schools were named and Jeb Stuart Highschool makes us all look like imbreeds.

Anchor Baby High School. That says it all.

The only thing about Stuart High School that would hinder your hiring would be the low test scores and graduation rates and the additional funds being siphoned off of the FCPS budget for this purpose will do nothing to improve upon that fact.

Wow a $50,000 grant for the $1,000.000 spent.

$950k in the red!

Does anyone really believe that the students of J.E.B. Stuart (Anchor Baby) High School will receive any benefit at all from the $50,000 "gift?"

Can't wait for JEB Racist POS HS to be renamed Barack Obama.

Getting rid of a racist shithead and adding our first African American President! What an awesome country!

RE DICK YOU LUS!

I already bought and paid for the stationary. Where is MY tax refund?

I do plan on collecting some of this.

Why don't we sue the County for spending our tax dollars in an "unpleasant" way?

Oh, right. We'd never do THAT.

We are sheep, no lambs to the slaughter.

Did you read "Lamb To The Slaughter" in tenth grade?

It's a short story by Roald Dahl.

The same guy who wrote "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".

Did you read that? Did you see the movie? The original one. Not the creepy Johnny Depp one.

He is a mess. But THAT is off topic.

Call people "inbred", "cross eyed", "low IQ", all you want, it only makes you look like you have to punctuate the inferiority of your point with inflammatories.

So you're actually suggesting... *hiding* the actual name of the school on college applications & job resumes *instead* of changing the name of the school?? You sir, are a gift, and have made my point for me explicitly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

PS - Because hiding the name of the school could work?? *lmao* And who in this day & age has the resources to check anyway, besides any 5 year old with a smart phone?? {omg that is funny} Might come up when they check your grade point average & course curriculum. Both these posts were made by someone who has no understanding of how to get into college, nor any understanding of how to get a even a bad job without lying.

Poster was calling those liberal niggers and race traitors those inflammatories bc that is what they are!

You're 3rd generation in ffx co!?
So you've seen first hand how the influx of liberals with their multiculturalist views of the world have set the precedent for left leaning voting politics.

Poster said those things bc he hates people like you!

Is this still a pre baked decision to change the name of the school or did the lack of actual community support exhibited by the working group reports convince the School Board that it was a waste of money?

They will do it later this month. Bank on it. Vote will likely be 8-3 or 9-2.

For sure will be: Hynes; Strauss; Evans; McElveen; Moon; Palchik. Others will likely join when they see it is going to pass anyway.

Next year, they'll go to other schools.

What a waste of money.

July 17 work session to discuss this. Meeting managers are Palchik and Hynes. Do you really think they won't vote to rename?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dxKpJ5r0ss&feature=youtu.be

Citizen participation begins early in the video. Watch the gentleman who speaks at 30 min mark--wonderful defense of keeping the name. Touching and impressive defense of the name. (please note--he is not the descendant of Virginia slaveowners--he is far from it.)

Shame on Sandy Evans for encouraging the divisiveness on this issue.

I brought the reports up because it was the most contrived report I have ever read, and I have read a lot of analytical reports. The working group producing the report consists of the black activists that were driving this train, the support for changing the name came in at less than 33 percent and their conclusion was that there was no community support for changing the school's name. Then magically the final report was released and they made the report sound as if there was almost universal support for changing the name. Obviously, there was no factual evidence other than the staged hearings that they had and the fake protests.

I guess the final insult will be that the school district will take another 10-12 teachers out of the Fairfax classrooms and pay for the name change out of the FCPS budget. However, the good news is that by doing so they will provide the anti spending faction of Fairfax County plenty of ammo for the special election for the At Large Member in August. They are providing the continued waste, social engineering and lack of focus issues to the election which will be used against the liberal leaning candidates!

This was addressed by one of the speakers last night. He spoke directly about the sorry surbey. The rules kept changing. The only reason given for changing the name was : Fairfax cares or OneFairfax or something like that.
After watching the speakers, the only substantive arguments came from those opposed to the change. There were several excellent arguments--including one from a native born Chinese who talked about what the Communists attempted to do to China's history.
However, the best speaker was the one who brought up the true story of Jeb Stuart.
Nevertheless, it is a done deal. I'll be shocked if they don't vote to change it. OUr Social Justice Warriors made up there minds long before the study groups were formed. And, when results did not go their way, they changed the rules.
We need a new School Board, but it is not going to happen.

These issues will make for great election issues to be used against the Dem supported candidates. Lack of focus, bad decision making, waste of taxpayer's money and continued social engineering.

We have a School Board election on August 29 for one At-Large seat. Please note that the Dem endorsed nominee has already come out in favor of changing the names of Lee and Woodson. Madison and Jefferson cannot be far behind........

http://bluevirginia.us/2017/06/30617

Questionnaire for Karen Keys-Gamarra(Dem endorsed nominee) Please note how she wishes to spend your money on school name changes.

You can also add One Fairfax to the lengthening issues list for the Special Election. It has now raised its ugly head as a wedge issue for the liberal majority Board to drive their social engineering agenda and it would appear that it is in their game plan to continue their half crazed spendthrift ways. In the meantime, the teacher-student ratio continues to climb while I am sure that student test scores will continue to drop.

Call people "niggers" & "race traitors" all you want, it only makes you sound like you have a mental disorder with a neurotic fixation on race & conspiracies & boogeymen??

I tried to take race out of it. By asking what is the point in having a school name that can hold students back in applying for jobs & colleges? But I couldn't get a straight answer, still haven't, and it just degenerated into inflamatories. If you cannot answer that one simple question - then that single-handedly is why no one will listen to you and the name is changing.

Best of all, another gift. Your post in particular (and this thread as a whole) illustrates masterfully how the JEB Stuart Highschool name *is* a tribute to racism and nothing else. There is no allure or appreciation of history in your post or in this thread. *lol* I made a practical argument & you gift-wrapped me the moral argument as well. Thank you.

How come it is always the confederate-worshipers who use the N-word?

I agree the "history argument" has been way overplayed. It's a con, nobody buys it anymore.

Wow, are they using the N-word in J.E.B. Stuart thread?!

What a surprise lol.

I was just surfing by and saw !!! N-WORD ALERT !!! for the last poster on the main index page.

Yep, that's the Nword alright. Just like it says on the front page. Well if Mr JEB used it, then I guess people who worship Mr JEB would use it too. Does that count as historical Nword usage? (sure is drumming up a lot of traffic)

Couldn't not agree more on the supposed historical significance of JEB Stuart that no one cares or knows anything about. Just look at this thread...EMPTY.

He is just a mythology for the racist ra-ra's who don't even know his history. Read people read. He disappeared at Gettysburg, leaving Lee with no intel (that's why it was such a disaster for the South). Then he showed up late, and lost to inferior numbers.

Race Traitors? Good grief, has someone spelled it out for that clown that the confederates were literally TRAITORS.

What a waste of taxpayers' money.

http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/vpublic?open

Today is the day they decide (work session). The Board Meeting is just a formality.

They have now opened a can of worms.

Sorry missy, but if an argument cannot be made without calling people "niggers" & "race traitors". Then I think they have made the real point for you. You're trying to side-step the real issue here.

You can always count on the N-word coming up in the confederate threads.

I have never understood why it was appropriate for two blacks to use the N word when trash talking but never appropriate for anyone else. Are you sure that you are not a black taking a liberty with the word in order to gain an advantage in the Stuart debate?

Amen! We're not talking about loose jargon, hyperbole, and slurs usage of some hater. We're talking the confederates were real life historical traitors like Benedict Arnold. Who both fought & killed Americans on the battlefield.

Look at Mr Inqui acting all shy about the N-word. You know he wants to say it. He's trying to call people the N-word right now. *LOL* What a thread for N-word users.

Oh yeah, the Inq-ster is a real slippery-coy one. Who do you think posted that sappy "Regret" quote after they got blasted for the N-word? Can you say damage control Mr "7Khhj"??? *LMAO* And now the Inq-ster is questioning what race people are in threads. How confederate of him to question peoples race. You can see the fixation & obsession with race that 3rd-Generation was talking about. It's such a hang-up with the confederates.

Like it matters? (I'm white dude & I know some of these other guys are too, and I don't know any black people here, but I wouldn't take exception to them if there was, you know its the civil thing to do, but in the tool sheds where he was raised they'd call that liberal or pc). I'll let 3rd-Generation give him his pedigree, his grandmother took it back to the 1600s before the internet was invented. Someone needs to tell him the cavalry came. And not like Jeb Stuart, but for real.

But this "Regret" & "cost" thing is cracking me up - its like a confederate education (which is why the school name has to go) and it is as fake as confederate money.

Excuse me, but there was a war. With an official declaration on paper against the United States, accompanied with a sneak attack on the United States. They started it. And they killed our president?! But hey who getting loosey-goosey with the $50-grand! *ROTFLMAO* Put it in the defense budget and call it self-defense against Civil War II. You'll save potentially trillions of dollars. After all they are a documented self-professed enemies of the United States.

Make no mistake, I could care less if the name is changed as long as it is not paid out of FCPS budget at a time when the school system cannot pay competitive wages to the teachers and the student-teacher ratio continues to rise. What I object to is the rigged process that the FCPS used to make the decision to change the name. They went to the trouble of establishing a process of determining community support and then essentially told the County residents that the name change would be approved by the School Board despite working group reports that indicate little community support for the change.

Schultz on the ramifications. $400K just to remove "Jeb"......and leave "Stuart".....

Can of worms.

Based upon the School Board's concocted "compelling need" policy, the JEB Stuart High School name change decision has evolved from a $750,000 contributor funded initiative to a 31 school and $25-$30 MILLION dollar budget buster social experiment that does not do a single thing to improve the graduation rates or basic education skills of the kids. THIS IS YOUR SCHOOL BOARD AT WORK IGNORING THE NEEDS OF YOUR KIDS AND WASTING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!

Oh sorry, do we need to racially check-in & register? (wow they really are fixated & obsessed with race here). Thanks for the heads-up though.

For the record: I'm white.

But I'd rather be black than be a confederate-sympathizer who blames "libtards", "anchor babies", "nigers", and "race traitors" for everything. And if that makes me a "race traitor" good god I volunteer.

Oh Inquisitive One, how about "race traitors"? Do black guys call each other "race traitors"? Or do they call white people "race traitors"? Or is that a white guy thing? Please explain it to us, its so confusing. We have been looking for someone as knowledgeable as you to lead us. Maybe you could be our leader. Are you suggesting it is a black conspiracy? That the blacks are calling whites "race traitors"?

And tell us more about black people and how un-understandable you find them?

Tom Davis represented J.E.B. Stuart High School for 14 years while serving on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and represented Virginia’s 11th Congressional District in the House from 1995 to 2008. Two of his children attended J.E.B. Stuart High School.

The proposal to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School presents the Fairfax County School Board, in fact the entire community and nation, with a teachable moment.

The school board adopted Regulation 8170.7 requiring “sufficient support” and “some compelling need” for a school name change. “Sufficient support” is not defined, nor is “compelling need,” but it is clear, through surveys, that the majority of the Stuart community and the student body do not support a name change. Equally important, the J.E.B. Stuart High School’s Parent Teacher Student Association, service clubs and booster clubs have not stepped forward to support a change.

The most important fact is that no “compelling need” has been demonstrated. Apparently, there are a few offended community members, but no one has suggested that the learning environment has been harmed because of the name of the school. Stuart’s enrollment is about half Hispanic, 23 percent non-Hispanic white (including a strong Arab component), 14 percent Asian and 10 percent black (many of them from other countries), and for years the school’s diversity and international flavor have been celebrated with its challenging International Baccalaureate curriculum.

Changing the name of this high school has been estimated to cost between $750,000 and $1 million. I don’t think spending that money on changing the name is a good use of funds when budget difficulties have resulted in students being slapped with activity fees, teaching positions being eliminated and class sizes growing ever larger. It also would send an unwelcome message to the Virginia General Assembly that Fairfax County is more interested in spending money for name changes than for student development.

Then there is the matter of J.E.B. Stuart himself. There is no historical research and no posthumous war crime declaration that would lead anyone to find a compelling reason to change the name of the school. James Ewell Brown Stuart was a Virginian and a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy who became a highly regarded cavalry officer and tactician. Before the Civil War, he was part of an Army effort to stop the fighting in “Bleeding Kansas” and defended abolitionist settlers warring with their pro-slavery opponents. His role was celebrated in the movie “Santa Fe Trail,” in which he was portrayed by Errol Flynn.

Stuart inherited two slaves but freed them in 1859. He opposed secession, but he sided with his native state when war broke out, as did many other Virginia officers. He was 31 and a Confederate general when he died from wounds suffered in battle. His military prowess still is widely acclaimed. A saber hook he developed (U.S. patent No. 25,684 A) was used by armies across the globe. And so renowned was his military genius, even internationally, that British M3 and M5 tanks used in World War II were nicknamed “Stuart tanks” in his honor.

Stuart is part of our complicated past. His role is something that can be discussed rationally and understood in the context of real history, not presumptions projected on him by people living 150 years later.

In considering the renaming of its schools, the Fairfax County School Board must adhere to its stated criteria. If it ignores the “compelling need” criterion, the school board would create division and mistrust rather than unity and support. Some have suggested that it might as well be called “Hitler High.” Such hyperbole has added too much emotion, yielded too few facts and intimidated students.

Forcing a change the majority of the community has not embraced would create unwelcome precedents. Removing Stuart’s name would most certainly lead to removing the names of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and Confederate Col. John Mosby from their respective schools. Where would it end?

Not caving in to the views of a few can serve as a model to handle controversies that are breaking out throughout the South over statues, memorials, parks and institutions named for Confederate leaders. Let’s take a lead from other educational institutions with complex legacies, such as Princeton and the University of Virginia.

Rather than ignore history, let this be a moment when we teach students, the community and the nation that the life and history of a bygone leader and our complex state and county histories needn’t be reduced to crass politics and sound bites and can be tools to promote reconciliation, education and, most important, love of our unique country and each other.

Sorry but you can't lead with this... (and back-pedal into that)

"niggers"

"race traitor"

"fucking foreigners"

"What's the new name?

..."Nathan Bedford Forest" (Klu Klux Klan starter)

..."David Duke" (Klu Klux Klan head)

..."Richard Spencer" (neo-nazi head banned from 26 countries)

(anti-American terrorist ideation) "dynamite off the face of tree-hugging, National Park loving Theodore Roosevelt and "great emancipator" Lincoln and replace them with George Wallace and David Duke" (a Pro-segregationist and a Klu Klux Klan head)

(Lincoln hating) "for the record many hated Lincoln north and south"
"his statue sits immense as a reminder of what hot headed spenders can do to a society - fucking kill half of it"


(racist epithet) "some coloreds get offended....here's a news flash: despite changing the name, you will still be lazy, multiple baby daddy, smelly, cook everything with flour, having outrageous diameter wheels, and have greasy hands in winter with your cheap dollar general lotions!"

(racist epithet) "Anchor Baby High School. That says it all."
(racist epithet) "the students of J.E.B. Stuart (Anchor Baby) High School"
(derision) "cross eyed, low IQ"
(derision mistyped on meth) "Dude that wasbso funny, I just spit out my adderall"


That's pathetic.

Not only is it shameless back-pedaling after a volcano of slurs, but it's clear that the people for keeping the JEB Stuart name, are actually enjoying the act of disrespecting & denigrating the school and the students themselves. And do not have the student's best interests at heart.

For the record: I'm white, just in case anyone asks?!

Hating on Lincoln is a dead give away for Klu Klux Klan'ers. And they mention KKK leaders three times. It's a page right out of the KKK's "Invisible Empire" trying to dress up their degenerate politics with fake financial concerns. If it cost a single penny they would decry it all the same, while chortling to their friends about it. These are dregs of society.

Oh everybody don't forget your racial check-in.

I'm white in case their is a preponderance over my race. Because this is the thread where everyone worries what race people are. *lol*

I think the slurs are from name changing proponents who are trying to paint this as a racist issue. They are faking it. Those are the commenters who have no logic in their comments.

Yeah, after dropping every slur in the book, the confederates are playing dense with the money issue. I mean there is more than $50,000 worth of cars in every driveway between my house and the local library. And the salaries are more than $50k. I mean it wouldn't even cost half a library to fix a name which should never have been given out. The cost-excuse is inexcusably lame. More racism on the sly.

It's almost as bad as trying to hide the name of your high school from your college lol. Oopsie, someone hasn't been to college. I thought you guys were making that up! Proving that a 5 year old with a smartphone is truly smarter than a racist. Bravo!

Do you realize how many teachers the cost of "half a library" would be?

You really think that is going to help the kids learn?

The J.E.B. Stuart HS name controversy did not exist for over 50 years since it was built.

Only when the school board decided to meddle did it become an issue.

If the school board voted to leave the name alone it would become a non-issue again.

Not sure why you consider "anchor babies" a slur. They are a valid strategy for those attempting to live in the U.S. illegally.

Yes Sir! The School Board has taken their social agenda to a higher level on this one. They have not only taken money from the classrooms to satisfy their desire to ease their guilt for the sins of a great great grand-daddy but they are going to tear the community apart with their insistence to defy the wishes of the voters.

Go watch the work session from yesterday.

I think there are some regrets. Seems to me that some of our members are worried about something if they go forward.
First, the guy who runs the sports teams for FCPS clued them in on just how much this could really cost--and, his estimate did not even include the cost to the parents. Even to drop the "Jeb" would cost @$400K.

Then, some of our members seemed awfully concerned about the "process" --and how some of it had not been correctly followed--i.e., I think, including people from 'outside" of the community.

Another couple of them addressed the need for a "unanimous" support of the name change--which is not going to happen.

Another (who was in a high school when it went through a name change) expressed some real concerns about the transition.

Another said she could support a change--but not any further changes.

Schultz had quite a list of schools that could be affected--who knew that Sidney Lanier fought for the Confederacy? It was a pretty long list including names that I had not heard mentioned earlier.

I'm sure that Sandy Evans is a nice woman who means well--but she really should have done a little more research before she started this mess.

It's had to get a feel for the vote--my guess is "yes" from Hynes, Evans. I think Palchik, Strauss and McElveen will also jump on board, although McElveen (surprisingly) had misgivings about the process. I'm thinking they are concerned about lawsuits--as they should be.

What a waste of time and resources. I'm guessing this has already cost us at least $100K in salaries and meetings.

Money is no obstacle! They have been aware of these "issues" from the start and will not be intimidated by the money issue and the certainty of lawsuits. They will just take it out of the teacher's pockets by eliminating step increases and cost of living increases next year. Full speed ahead. One down with Jeb Stuart and 30 more school names to change on the horizon!

I just rated this site dangerous on multiple evaluation sites. And I am warning my neighborhood too. And will for years to come. Drugged out, racist, belligerent, criminal trolls with attacking viruses & bugs. Good riddance. Not safe here anymore. Hope you all get arrested scumbags.

It‘s true. Get out of here and get your computer swiped clean. Spread the word among the locals. There are more low lifes here than in a prison yard.

I got threatening messages on my computer calling me racial slurs. It's like Klu Klux Klan talk.

Thanks bro. Some of the other guys told me too. We'll warn people at our other sites as well. All we tried to do was help people who were getting racially slurred and we got attacked as "race traitors". Thank god I did not have any kids around to see it!
