Anybody got intel on this Chavez guy? Was he the typical commie/lib, or a real person?

He was the one who organized the lettuce boycott. Remember that?

You've got a second and another 'aye' for Nathan Bedford Forrest Day. Can you imagine? A school formed from the actions by lincoln himself actually dropping a day to remember him. Man, what will the national government do? I wonder if they'll threaten them with rescinding of funds like they did when Arizona refused to have a MLK day.

Some ideas are just too ridiculous for words. This is one of them.

I notice that neither of you suggested naming it after Jefferson Davis. I admit that, considering his actions, I have no respect for the man but I would have assumed that you guys would have turned a blind eye to his crimes. Glad to see that you seem to hold him in low esteem, too.

Who left the Klan and asked that his name be taken from association with them in 1869 because of the direction the Klan was going
