Just for one school in America, $300,000 will be squandered because the name "Robert E Lee High School" was offensive.

"At Mondays board meeting, after administrators had inventoried everything from uniforms to gymnasium floors to team uniforms, Superintendent Brian Gottardy said the cost of the name change including jettisoning things directly associated with the Confederacy and with Lee, its most successful general will total an estimated $299,098, including a $25,000 contingency fund.
It would have exceeded $1.3 million without the decision to keep the mascot and colors, he said."

i'm interested in whether the renovations (such as sanding the gym) are actually going to cost them more than what regular upkeep would be, because if not then the costs stated here are a bit inflated

300k is a small price to pay to help obliterate intolerance.

Seriously though, good on them for wanting to disassociate themselves from such a monster.

Ehh, I mean I'm sure the school needed renovations to some extent anyway. Schools eventually replace all those things on a semi-regular basis.

The school is getting a repaved gym, updated athletic uniforms, etc. It's not like they're throwing away all the memorabilia in terms of old trophies and such that were branded as such.

They were going to spend this money at some point or another.

Of course he can't. If you don't agree with his incredibly narrow worldview, you're automatically a raving SJW in his mind.

After reviewing this city's demographics, 26.6% are "non-hispanic whites". African-Americans make up 7% of the city's population. After looking up the profile of the school, it describes itself as, "Minority enrollment is 86% of the student body (majority Hispanic), which is more than the state average of 71%."

The school in question is mostly Hispanic, with some white people and black people. This is certainly nothing resembling some white dominated racist school.

There's no reason that there should be a Robert E Lee high school in Texas. I mean, the last battle of the Civil War, where Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy lost, was in Texas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Palmito_Ranch

We have plenty of people that are from this state or served in this state or this country that are more worthwhile to represent this state.

I mean, I don't have a problem, at all, with it in Virginia and the states that were actual participants in the Confederacy, but Texas' presence in the Confederacy literally started with replacing Sam Houston, the first president of the Republic of Texas who was the 7th governor, when he resigned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_in_the_American_Civil_War

I see no fucking reason for there to be any of that shit in this state. The Confederacy is a stain on my state's history and I wish we'd get some bleach to get rid of it.

True. I think it's important that both sides get to waste money. We should always strive for equality.
