So the PC crowd is trading the name of a perceived racist for a verifiable racist??

Got it.

Seriously folks .. you CANNOT view the events and people of the past through the lens of the present. You MUST view and judge them within the context of their time.

How hard it THAT to understand??

VERY HARD ... apparently.

The AP is sure to update us on every little thing involving the Confederacy, aren't they? Even when it's like some small random golf course in Tennessee.

Have you noticed that there is never a “Martin Luther King” Blvd, St., Ln., in any white areas?

“Davis International Baccalaureate Elementary School in Jackson was named decades ago for Jefferson Davis.”

Decades ago?

So it was named after Davis for political purposes, just like this name change.

After just nine months of Trump, black unemployment hits a 17 year low...maybe they’re renaming the school after the wrong President.
