Export niggers and those that support changing school names back to sgithole Africa.
Cheaper than hiring school consultants and celebrities like Julie Ann moore

Sorry, but there's no reason to rename Robert E. Lee High School. Just because he was a Confederate general doesn't mean he was hateful. Besides, as a county taxpayer I'd rather the county not spend $1 million to rename a high school.

Robert E Lee made plans to free his slaves b4 the war began. He freed his slaves early in the war. He only joined the rebel cause because he couldn't lift his hand against his native Virginia.

I hate ignorant protesters. They end up telling a bunch of BS and get other dumbasses to believe them.

It would be one thing if the Schools were running budget surpluses year after year, however, they are asking for continuously more funds and receiving a greater percentage of the FFX budget. Currently, the School budget consumes almost 53 percent of the entire Fairfax County budget and is now consuming funds that used to be spent on other popular conveniences the public enjoys such as open space, parks and other cultural amenities. The percentage used to be about 50 percent. If you want to be productive, include a means of paying for frivolous initiatives such as school name changes. As it currently stands, people that push for initiatives such as this are stealing funds from the school budget that should be used for classroom purposes. We already have 11 thieves that steal from the taxpayers when constructing the School System budget. They are the Fairfax County School Board.

MLK was a homophobe and liked to beat the prostitutes whose pussies he grabbed. He never held office. But yeah, let's give him the only national holiday named for one man and pretend that he was a saint.

Oh I see...if a man cheats on his wife and or visits prostitutes, then he is invalidated as a human being? His messages of inequality are simply erased? I'll need a reliable citation on the homophobia...

There are more important things than money? Why is it the there are no longer any consequences for kids misbehaving. Your impudent little bastards have no idea what respect is. No idea about the golden rule is. Are not required to stand and recite the pledge of allegiance and are not disciplined if they "opt out". Have no idea what love of country is and you speak of "right and wrong. County mom of 3 do you enjoy anal? If so lets meet at Wegmans and hook up in the back of your SUV.

Tyrellius Johnson visited prostitutes. He has a message of equality and yet no one listens. You folks have simply picked a nigger and run with it. It would be appear - this being the best nigger you have - that the message has been lost given the rate at which these coons keep ventilating each other.

I do not see anywhere where it was said he is/was not a human being. He should just be held to the same standard that everyone else is. We are going back and changing the names of roads and schools because of peoples beliefs and actions. We are charging people for assaults that happened thirty years ago. If we are going to revisit all this other shit, let's revisit the reality of who MLK really was. Did he have a good message, yep, was he also a bad person....yep.

Just for the record, if James Earl Ray had not shot MLK he very well may have ended up being a militant thug whose legacy was causing race riots.

This has nothing to do with right and wrong. The history of the United States of America like the history of humanity has been the story of human rights abuses and exploitation. The Civil War was no different. It was not a struggle about good v. evil. It was a struggle over what forms of human rights abuses would be permitted, and about who was going to exploit who.

Ignoring for the moment the dubious legal argument that battlefield deaths in war are murder, the numbers do not support your claim. While the total number of Union deaths were around 350,000, most of those deaths were from disease or accident, neither of which were considered murders in the 19th century. The total number of Union soldiers and sailors who were killed in combat, died of wounds suffered in combat and who died in captivity from all causes was around 130,000.

Lee is only responsible for a portion of these. During the first year of the war Lee didn't exercise a combat command. From June 1862 to early 1865 Lee's authority was limited to the Virginia theatre as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. It was only for a few weeks up to April 9 that he held the nominal role as Commander in Chief of the Confederate army. The total number of Union deaths inflicted by troops under Lee's command was probably less than 50,000.

SCOTUS did right by shutting down the fag train a few days ago. This little "erasing history" tantrum will end soon as well.

Most libs are in favor of it because - if we eliminate all evidence of slavery ever happening, then we can legitimately say - "What are all these niggers talking about?"

And it will still be a failing school.

If the school system can turn the school around and get its fiscal house in order they should be able to rename the school whatever the community finds acceptable. Until then it is simply a wasteful expense intended to distract from the pathetic leadership being provided.

I agree. It is disgraceful that we commemorate the poor academic performance of a once great school. Rename a failing school and you have a failing school with a new name. Turn around the academic performance and maybe we will turn out graduates worthy of having a school named for them.

Poor performance because of poor pay. FCPS does not pay the teachers well enough to be effective.

Stupid post! Any credibility will explain why schools like Langley, Woodson and the other highly ranked schools excel with essentially the same group of teachers.

The name will be changed but it may take a year or so. The name doesn't bother me but I like how conservatards get all triggered when gets changed. It will get changed and you will pay for it unless you would like to move away which would be nice for the rest of us.

It doesn’t seem to matter that Lee, who turned down an offer by Lincoln to command the Union army before the actual shooting started, was by definition a traitor and a terrorist. Indeed, he is responsible for more American deaths than any foreign or domestic enemy in our entire collective past, including Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden combined. A little too harsh an assessment, do you think? Not really when all the relevant facts are examined.

Despite having sworn an oath of allegiance to defend our nation and Constitution against all threats, Lee unceremoniously decided to resign his commission from the U.S. Army in 1861. He then proceeded to take up arms with the Confederacy, a loose collection of rebellious Southern states who were committed to preserving the enslavement of millions of African-Americans.

Of slavery, Lee was far from the progressive racial thinker many of his apologists have painted him to be. While acknowledging the barbaric practice was “a moral & political evil” destined to be eradicated, Lee, an unapologetic white supremacist, was in no great hurry to expedite that day of reckoning. After all, his family owned several slaves and he had a sizable financial stake in maintaining the “peculiar institution.” Nor was he averse to having slaves whipped for attempting to run away from his cruel and often dehumanizing treatment of them. “The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things,” he wrote his wife in 1856.

When all the relevant facts are examined, they do not support your claims. U.S. military record keeping was very good. We know how many U.S. soldiers died, how they died, where and when. Unlike the Revolution U.S. civilian casualties were light, and we know roughly where and when those occurred. We also know where the different Confederates were during the war. This allows us to fairly accurately assign responsibility for deaths among the various Confederate leaders.

Best case the total number of U.S. military and civilian deaths that can properly be assigned to Lee is less than the number of American WWII deaths in the Battle of the Atlantic, Overlord, Dragoon, the Bulge and Anzio combined. Jefferson Davis as Commander in Chief and leader of the Confederate States might be assigned responsibility for more American deaths than Adolph Hitler. No other Confederate leader, Lee included, comes close.

You need to keep in mind that these "facts" from "history" were compiled by white Christian males. Fabrication in its purest form.

It is funny that years ago we thought naming this school after Lee was in some way acceptable. Times have changed for the better and yes it will cost a little money but the name absolutely must be changed.
The name of the school is offensive to the African American children who attend it. There is no difference between using the current name and hanging a noose on the front of the school. It's hard to understand how any decent person could be against the name change.

Go ahead and rename the place. I don't care whether they keep calling it Lee or they change it. Just don't try to pretend it is a matter of right and wrong.

Naming or renaming something is about power, influence and the willingness to use it. That is just as true of those seeking to rename Lee as it was of those who originally named it Lee. It is as true of the FUCKWADS who renamed Stuart Justice as it is of the FUCKWADS who renamed National after Reagan, or who renamed Mason's law school. Saying it is about not being offensive is just kidding yourself. This is about not being offensive to you and those you care about. I will bet whatever name you come up with will be offensive to someone or incredibly bland or both.

If you really are looking for something to be offended about, I would suggest starting with why once great schools such as Lee, Stuart and Mount Vernon have been allowed to become failing or even failed schools in the space of less than 25 years. It is the result of decisions made by people who are still with us today, not people who fought a war that ended 150 years ago. Addressing those wrongs will have a far bigger impact on the future of Springfield children than renaming their high school.

The School Board tried to sell that line for the first one and the Fairfax taxpayers ended up picking up the tab for over half of the cost. Beyond the very loud lunatic minority, there was very little interest in raising funds for, or contributing to, the cost of the name change. With a similar demographic makeup at Lee, the is no reason to believe that anyone other than the taxpayers once again will pick up the tab on this one too. Oh yes, Tamara Koufax, the SB Member that represents Lee, was so terrified of a cascade of name changes such as this that she did not vote for the Stuart name change last year.

Once again, Bill N. is the voice of reason. Far too many times political activists care very little about the issues, just the "control" that they can exert over the people and situation involved. If the SB and activists want to be useful, use your energy to straighten out these once proud schools rather than spending time, effort and money attaching another name to schools that are destined to now have the legacy of being failed schools.

I am not a liberal. I am not a conservative.

I do not send children to this school, but as an abstract issue, I wish to comment.

First, I think that a huge majority of the students at this school will not care what it is called. They will be a lot more concerned about what is in the school, not what name is on the outside. That should be the focus of your concern, not the damn name.

Next, Robert E. Lee means different things to different people.

You appear to want to say that it only means hate. Seems YOU are the one doing the hating here.

I am a simple uneducated man, so maybe I am wrong, but I think that Robert E. Lee joined the confederate cause because he believed in the principle of states rights. He felt that the federal government should not be able to bully individual states.

That is an old debate going far back to the very birth of our nation, and still going on today. States rights deserves to be heard as a point of view.

Maybe you prefer to say a slaveholder cannot be anything but totally evil.

Well, there is a library in my city of Washington DC named after Martin Luther King. I couldn't care less what they call it, the staff are still all snotty and incompetent.

Anyway. Martin Luther King was supposedly some kind of Christian preacher, right? And the bible very explicitly prohibits adultery? Yet the FBI have hours and hours and hours of spy audio proving that this guy cheated no his wife, having sex with hundreds of women.

I dont' care about that. What bothers me is the Martin Luther King enthusiastically and literally embraced Malcom X.

Remember him? No? Well he was a criminal drug addict black who loudly and frequently advocated the violent overthrow of the US government and the murder of all white people.

Remember the lovely folks who crashed planes into the towers on 9/11? Musilims.
And Malcom X founded "The Nation of Islam".

My real point is that building names are bullshit.


You liberals cannot erase the passionate feelings and thoughts of people who disagree with you by trying to create a FASCIST state of Political Correctness.


That leads to Joesph Stalin and communisit russia.

You ideas are DOOMED to fail.

cut the shit. Get rid of teacher unions. Quadruple teacher pay. Hire only the best, and fire them instantly if they fail to produce results.

OK, could you please clarify?

Can you please cut and paste any facts that support the idea that "cuck snowflake libs" will spend Millions of "YOUR MONEY"?

I had the impression that everyone paid taxes, including "cuck snowflake libs".

Or maybe that is no longer true. Maybe now the richest one percent get a huge tax cut, and the poor get even more poor?

What EXACT "history" are you so concerned might be "erased"?

The total failure of an illegal rebellion against the lawful authority of the government? The total failure of an effort to spit in the face of the constitution of the united states?

The TOTAL FAILURE in history of a CRIMINAL TRAITOR, robert e lee?

The economic ruin of half the nation, and the murder of hundreds of thousand of men in the civil war?

Are you afraid that might get "erased" in history?

Slavery existed for CENTURIES before America was even dreamed of.

To this very day, june 2018, slavery is STANDARD ACCEPTED PRACTICE in Africa.

The fantasy is that evil americans went deep into the jungle and enslaved africans to work in the cotton fields.

Nope. For centuries before Americans got involved, Africans were going to war. The losers, mostly women and children, were automatically sold into slavery. This is still standard accepted practice in Africa today.

They went to war, then dragged the slaves to the coast to sell them to Portuguese traders. Not british. Not american. Not german. Portuguese, HISPANIC slave traders.

Most of these were literally worked to death in places like Haiti.

The lucky ones went to America.

This is the exact sort of thing that convinces me not to be a liberal,and not to be a conservative.

This asshole calls him "ignorant" then is so lazy or stupid that they provide ZERO evidence or facts to support that accusation.

The reason that I am not a liberal or a conservative is that I try hard to collect information from ALL sources.


This persuades me that both liberals and conservatives are lying cheating rapist child molester scum that deserve to burn in hell.

I am assuming you are white. The name of the school is not only offensive to black people it intimidates the young black students who study there.
I suppose that you get a little bit of enjoyment out of that though being white and all.

I would be interested in reading PROOF of your claim that poor teacher performance is due to poor pay.

Here in Washington DC, more money is spent per student than anywhere else in the nation, yet this system consistently produces the worst grades and test scores in the nation.


***

Since this school name is such a point of contention, I'll play Solomon for a moment:

Since this is all about "justice", let's take a step back.

Why should people who have no children be forced at gunpoint to pay for your kids to go to school? If you don't pay taxes, men with guns come and take you to prison. Taxes are extortion, no matter what the money is used for.


So, there wont' BE any school to name any more. We will just burn it to the ground. You can educate your brats yourself, at your own goddamn expense. How do you like that option?


****

You liberals are getting all excited about the "lesson" taught by the school name. Get a clue. Kids in high school care about whether or not their teachers are assholes, whether or not they get a drivers license and a part time job, whether or not they get a boyfriend or girlfriend.


They don't give a SHIT about what the school is named, and rightly so. It does nothing to improve or degrade their lives.

You asshole conservatives are whining about "history". There is nothing to be proud about being a traitor. No matter his reasons or other virtues, the hard cold fact is that Robert E. Lee was a traitor. That's pretty much the worst crime you can commit.

I see some of you conservatives whining that MLK was a bad guy, yet we name stuff after him. Yep, true, he was imperfect. I don't give a shit. Go ahead and yank his name off buildings, I couldn't care less. That has NOTHING to do with the FACT that Lee was a TRAITOR.


You stupid liberals think it's going to matter what you name the school? Get real. The kids are still going to hear racist stuff at home. They are still going to look around them at the world.

What will they see? Good and bad both. You liberals want to pretend and tell the kids "we are all the same, we are all equal". Even a retarded kid can see that is a lie.

Crime, crack, heroin, Aids, violence, poverty, illegitimate children, deadbeat dads, welfare families. A culture that tells them that dressing like a circus clown and shouting at the top of your voice are all it takes in this world to succeed.

If you expect people NOT to be racist, why aren't you concentrating on eliminating the very good reasons that they ARE racist? The name on the side of a building is not going to change any of these things.

Now, a word for you conservatives. Why would anyone want to fly a confederate flag on his rusty pickup truck?

This flag shouts to the world "I am ALSO a complete LOSER!"

There is no pride in being a traitor. There is no pride in total defeat.

The south was offered dozens of compromise plans to get rid of slavery gradually and with no harm to the economy. All were violently rejected.

You pieces of shit now put in your school textbooks that the civil war is supposed to be called "the war of northern aggression".

What a foul cowardly LIE.

YOU started the war. YOU murdered Americans by firing cannons at Fort Sumter,

And, as a result you got the living shit kicked out of you. Total defeat, unconditional surrender. Economic ruin, which the productive North had to bail you out of for decades.

You want "independence from federal rule" huh? yeah.

So then how do you explain why you eagerly beg for and lap up federal relief money, federal doctors, federal soldiers when you get a flood in Louisiana, when you get hurricanes in Florida and the Carolinas?

You want to be independent? Go right the fuck ahead! As far as I can see all you have to offer the world is cancer in the form of tobacco. That won't be missed.

There is a GOOD REASON why you lost HALF of your state. West Virginia knew you were full of shit and wanted nothing to to do with you.

Here is a radical idea! Support, or better yet, work for the passage of a school vouchers program so that black people can get their kids out of failed high schools like Lee and Mt. Vernon HS. Your kids will not have to be intimidated, your kids will get a REAL education, and probably best of all the nearly brain dead School Board will eventually get the message that they need to clean up the mess that they have created with these schools and reform school management and policies.

Let the name changes begin! There are about 29 school properties with questionable names and a price tag that will tack on about 1 mil to your real estate taxes. Also with a state such as Virginia with a rich southern heritage I am sure that there are as many general government facilities that will be in need of changing. From there, we can go to all of the streets, landmarks and roads.

Yep, we have just started uncovering the injustices in US society. Damn if Fairfax County was named for one of the worst offenders. Attached is some information about Lord Fairfax extracted from Wikipedia.

Fairfax depended on hundreds of slaves who worked among his 30 Virginia plantations.[8] He was active in trading slaves and, despite his age, he proudly participated in "little talked about" activity called "bedding down with a negro wench" for which Lord Fairfax would pay a fee to the person who supplied the "wench".[8][9] Based on this history, some Fairfax County students are petitioning the Fairfax School Board (and pressuring others such as the Fairfax Park Department's promotion of his cartoon image to children) to drop the use of the Fairfax name and coat of arms, expressing distaste for Lord Fairfax's lifestyle and system of wealth and recognizing that it does not represent the values of the school board as detailed in its mission statement.

George Washington owned slaves, yet the school less than five minutes from his estate is named after his estate- Mt. Vernon. All the black kids who go there must be intimidated and offended.
My. Vernon must go.

And we won't fucking stop until each and every racist, slave-owning historic figure, Civil War reference and descendants of Civil War heroes is removed from Fairfax County (this may be one way of getting rid of the fraudulent Sandy Evans). At this point my objective is to bankrupt the filthy, racist, county government that we have. All of Burke, most of McLean, Fairfax, Centreville and Mount Vernon referenced addresses must go. NO exceptions.

The glaring difference: Washington wasn’t a traitor. Lee was.

Washington was a traitor. Those who lead rebellions against their sovereigns are by definition traitors. Further like Lee Washington had sworn an oath of loyalty to the sovereign against whom he had rebelled. Like Lee, Washington was fighting in part to preserve the institution of slavery. England and Scotland had declared slavery was not permitted within Britain which made American slave owners nervous, and at the end of the Revolution Washington complained that British General Carlton was facilitating the escape of slaves when the British were evacuating New York.

There are two key differences between Washington and Lee. The first is that Washington won. The second is that most people in Northern Virginia today no longer believe Lee was fighting on their side. Back in the early Sixties that wasn't true.

I suggest we change anything related to Washington and Jefferson immediately.
How about the Michael Brown Memorial to replace Jefferson, in honor of the nigger who stole cigars from a convenience store, assaulted the cashier, and then attacked a police officer before he got his nigger ass shot.
Certainly, his legacy is greater than the author of the Virginia Statute For Religious Freedom, the Declaration of Independence, and the founder and main designer of the University of Virginia.
Be done with these old white men.

The point was that if Lee HS name is changed, every street, school and government building remotely associated with slavery or the civil war WILL be changed, including the name of this fucking County!!!
