Then fast forward 10 years, and they’ll want to change the “Washington” part, because George Washington was a slave owner.
Yes, they will seek to change the Washington name. It could happen.
In New Orleans, the school board changed the name of George Washington school. The board deleted the Washington name because George Washington owned slaves. They wanted to make a political statement. They renamed the school after some African king. Which presumeably helped the self esteem of the mostly black students who attend the school.
No word on whether academic achievement increased at the former George Washington school after the name change. No word on whether the mostly black students gained greater appreciation for their “roots” by attending a school named after an African historic figure.
