"On October 23, the Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education voted to move forward with changing the names of three elementary schools originally dedicated to Confederate leaders: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Isaac Stand Watie. As the district begins the input process to determine the names these facilities will bear moving forward, I hope to use it as a teachable moment for our students and to establish a positive image and a sense of pride for these school communities to carry them into the future," Superintendent Aurora Lora said in a statement.

Good for them. Maybe they can find three America-hating demonicRATS to name them after.

Oh. Wait.

Only folks with inferior degrees (such as education) would label such idiocy as a teachable moment.

How about we just rename everything “State School Number [NNN]”

Nice and officious. No prejudices possible, Comrades.

All Hail the wisdom of our leaders!

No, Oklahoma City and Tulsa have been infested with liberal trash, much of it from kommiefornia. Blue enclaves in a red state.

My son has a BA Degree in History and teaches in that subject in a Charter High School. Even he said that any degree in Education is a joke but you need it to move up the ladder. Then you are qualified make stupid decisions regarding Education.

let me guess. The names chosen will be Communists like Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Dubois and Che Guevara.

Who cares? Both “flavors” are destroying America. Their social morays are antithetical to ours.
