You would think the school board would know the difference between "matanza" and "Matanza".

Correct, and the fact the history of Matanzas inlet is prominently displayed all over the region. If the parents are that ignorant, the name of the school should be the least of their worries.
To: Stoat
...to be renamed "Communist Martyrs High School"...

There as is even a river by that name and a bay right in St.Augustine.
This is about some ridiculous parents. Some people need to get over themselves.... they are probably transplanted yankees but unlike me... they just do not love the South or the history of Florida.

["It is true it is part of history, but that was then. Today is different," parent Joel Shane said. "We are more civilized than we were in those days or that day and age."]
Yeah, sure...now we legislate death by starvation, that is certainly more civilized.

I don't know about our being more civilised, but we sure are more "sensitive"...

How about re-naming that school for a Floridian? OJ Simpson-Matanzas High School. They could outfit the marching band in Bruno Maglis and get a white bronco as a mascot.
