Fairfax Begins Process To Rename Confederate Properties

Ironically the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has tasked the Fairfax County "History" Commission to compile a list of all public streets, parks, road, plaques, monuments, statues, ad infinitum in an effort to erase the history of the confederacy and the state of Virginia from memory.
On June 23, 2020, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, requested the History Commission prepare a report listing a full inventory of Confederate street names, monuments and public places in Fairfax County and on Fairfax County-owned property. In an effort to prepare the report, the History Commission has formed the History Commission Confederate Names Committee which will meet regularly until the report is finalized.
https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/history-commission/confederate-names-committee
I say ironic because in their first meeting to discuss the issue the Board of Supervisor's representative encouraged the "History" commission to consider listing even the History Commission's own historical markers if they mention Confederates. The board's rep Rachel Flynn kept pushing the history commission to expand way beyond the scope of the board's directive to include confederate sympathizers and private property. Discussion of renaming private cemeteries and removal of headstones from private cemeteries. In fact, Flynn kept encouraging the commissioners to make their own list of suspect names regardless of the directives of the board of supervisors. You can see the entire debacle for yourself here (start at about 10:50):

Suffice to say it is a colossal undertaking and it seems cruel to expect a volunteer history commission to do this type of research and work - you would pay a private firm hundreds of thousands of dollars for the type of research they are demanding for free from the "History" Commission.

Here's a little history for 'em. The namesake of Fairfax County was the 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron.
"Consider also the 14th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, a Conservative peer, whose slave-trading ancestor, the 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, owner of vast plantations in Virginia, reportedly enjoyed what he called “bedding down with a negro wench”. Or, as we would now think of it, rape." The Guardian
I guess we'll have to rename the whole County after learning that. If I was a democrat on the board of stupidvisors, I would quit in protest. No way my conscience would let me work for an entity built on slavery. I'm sure they will resign as soon as they find out. I mean, they condemned Washington, Jefferson et al for not having the integrity to do what's right, so I am sure they will lead by example.

Interesting. Clearly the Board of Supervisors has no idea how many changes will have to be made. The history board does. It's easily going to be a list of 10,000 changes. Is there really a demand for this? I can see re-naming a few prominent streets, roads and schools that are named after high ranking generals. But if you have to do lengthy and expensive research to purge everything that's crazy.
How would you even know for sure about minor stuff? I have tried for years to find out who my own street is named after. No one knows. Not the county planning and zoning commission. Not the museum or library archivists. Heck, not even the developer that named the street. There just doesn't seem to be any memory or record of who the street was named after. Maybe it should be changed just in case.

He wasn’t a confederate and isn’t someone embraced by white supremacists.

Slippery slope argument. There’s no movement to rename Fairfax county. It’s just something dumb that Trumptards are using to criticize the removal of confederate memorials.

Interesting. The Rachel Flynn person is clearly a wrecker and doesn't even care or know about history. She kept referring to the two monuments at Ox Hill Battlefield Park as candidates for removal. Those two monuments are to UNITED STATES generals who died fighting the Confederate States there. She just assumed since they are old monuments they must be Confederate. These type of people are dangerous and need to be stopped.
