I live and pay taxes in this district. My wife is also an employee of LISD.

We support this 100% and have expressed this to our reps.

Although this school district is near Austin Texas, the district is in Williamson County, Texas. Williamson County, Texas is probably one of the reddest of Conservative counties in the US. We have no local chapters of LULAC, or the NAACP. We even have a blvd named after Ronald Reagan.

There isn’t some fringe leftie conspiracy to change the school’s name - that’s just propaganda from people who don’t know why there’s a movement to change/augment the name. That’s because they don’t want you to know about Spc. Matthew Troy Morris, who was also a genuine hero.

The movement is to honor ALL of the soldier’s who have died. The soldier who they are honoring wasn’t the only one to die in Iraq. There was another young hero who also died (the first one from the area, in fact), and his family is sad that there son is being COMPLETELY ignored - all because he left school early to enlist. Why can’t both young heroes be honored equally? Why should one young man who died for our country be ignored, and the other one praised? They were both equally decorated by the military. We should honor both of them equally. I, for one, support Spc. Matthew Troy Morris - KIA Balad, Iraq 4-6-08, and would like to honor him as well. He died, too. We shouldn’t ignore him or his family, and shame on anyone who thinks he ought to be forgotten.
