Robert E. Lee once said that the confederacy said that what they did should not be memorialized. He’d be outraged to see a school named after him bc of his part of the confederacy. Like the irony of bringing the name back is hilarious but also sad.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison are sensibly famous for better things than their admitted hypocrisy regarding the cause of liberty.
World renowned singer Ella Fitzgerald was born in Newport News.
Booker T. Washington, famous as an educator as well as author and orator, was born in Hale’s Ford and founded Tuskegee University.
There are plenty of other Virginians whose accomplishments in literature, music, art, science and politics could be celebrated (the more if one turns to _local_ importance).
But those same people will tell you, you have a problem with letting go of the past. The biggest hypocrites.
When black folks talk about the history of racism we're told to stop dwelling on the past and move forward. So what do you call this?
On behalf of all white people I'm sorry
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomengot that white guilt for something you never done? 😂😂
@@LoveableLincoln32 go troll something else loser
@@LoveableLincoln32 you can't talk to me this way! I'm apologizing to these black people.stay out of it
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomen sweet virtue signal loser. Do you feel better now?
Honoring traitors who fought for the institution of slavery. Despicable.
Need a better angle . I am not buying that 🐂💩
One large High School I attended in Texas in the late 80's officially flew a slightly modified confederate flag. Students would use the actual one and do things like drive by rival schools before games waving these huge flags out the window. They were called "The Rebels" and the mascot was a confederate soldier called the colonel, complete with officers uniform and sword. They had all sorts of other confederate symbolism in the various team uniforms and logos. School motto was "The south shall rise again" I shit you not. The marching band also had flag bearers dressed as confederate soldiers and played several confederate tunes.
The flag or flagging in a car was banned a few years after I transferred, not sure. But i was told it was due to a bad traffic accident. It still remained on logos and the school crest until like 2021 when I heard they ditched the colonel and rebels name for the Titans. Only 3 yrs ago... Now you know…the rest of the story, Good day.
I recently drove from North Carolina to Florida, mostly on I-95. It's no surprise to see tons of gigantic American flags flying on the roadside on such a trip, usually in a built-up area. But it's really jarring when you hit South Carolina and you start seeing gigantic Confederate flags flying out in the middle of nowhere, protected by fencing with barbed wire on top. Cross the border into Georgia and then Florida and it's back to gigantic American flags.
I am wearing a T-shirt that has lasted longer than the Confederacy.
Donors should have a plaque dedicated to them in order to commemorate their contribution to reverting back to a racist name for each school.
Traitors honering traitors... thats who retrumplicants are.
Follow the money!!! Where is the money coming from?
Trump: "even though I lost, I also didn't."
The South : "huh..."
Old (slavery & Jim Crow) times there are not forgotten!
The South lost the war get over it.
Did they? Seems for losers as you claim they are quite popular.
It’s apart of there culture. No one is telling you to give up your culture
@@montanamountainmen6104 Yet, look for places to b*tch cry is hereditary in those Stormfront circles.
@@LoveableLincoln32 Yep. Klan culture. It's like saying having a little bit of cancer is okay.
@@montanamountainmen6104 they definitely LOST. LOL not popular at all, maybe to you small town folk losers
So the mascots will be called the Klansman 😂
Are they going to teach the kids about how their schools are named after men who committed treason against the United States?
Hell naw...they won't...they want your kids to remain ignorant of history😑
These people will never accept outcome. True racists.Why don't they put on grey uniforms. They lost
So how many of them were convicted of treason?
Most people aren’t aware that Arlington national cemetery was put on the land that belonged to the family of Robert E. Lee.
No one is surprised about this. Lol You can only pretend so long. 😂
Confederate "memorials" were erected all over the south in the 1950-60's as a neo-Confederate message to Black Americans that they did not accept the US Constitution and the Civil Rights movement. This is the same thing, though updated. It's still neo-Confederates that believe in regressive cultural ideas, like racism, male dominance, religious hegemony, social conformity, and all the typical pushback against anything new or different (especially if it challenges the status quo). The neo-Confederates are why the USA is actually behind most civilized nations in so many social areas, such as health, family support, and worker security.
It was actually a much older project funded in large part by the Daughters of the Confederacy.
@@kray97bingo, in the 20s and 30s
Yet people still wish to migrate to the States-- it's as though none of what you said is meaningful to them.
It is the entirety of actual Conservatives. The majority of Republican suppoeters think that they are Conservatives because of how the messaging is for the party. Currently they are the loudest voice. that, needa to xgange.
How about “KKK” high?
I am sure that there will be a Donald Trump high.
If I’m Not Mistaken I believe that General Lee asked Not to have anything made in his “honor”
Easy fix - Department of education wouldn’t give any federal funds to any school with confederate name or anything related
There you go
So you think the right way to fix the problem is to punish the staff & students attending those schools by cutting off their funding. That sounds like something a Republican might well come up with, BTW, Native Americans fought against the US in the indian Wars of 1860-1890. If some school was named after a Native American who fought in those wars would be OK as punishment to cut their federal funding too?
And Trump would start only giving money to schools with Confederate names ;)
PREACH, Cenk!
Yeah, let's honor those losers.
There are monsters in the land.
They can't let the racism go. They love the confederacy.
They are simply showing how much they adore racist
2nd try to get past censor: What’s _not_ being honored in the use of his name is Robert E. Lee’s own wish that no monuments should be raised to the insurrection.
They used to have the decency to wear hoods...
How many on the new school board are "Mom's For Liberty" or funded by them?
Shenandoah County “the first 100% conservative board since anyone can remember.” (as of 2023) AP
I thought they were against participation trophies
They were traitors!!! What don't you people understand about that detail??
I live in Shenandoah County and pay taxes to that county. I am outraged by the county changing the names back to Confederate names.
Wty folks have really gone wacko MG how embarrassing.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Otherwise, as a Virginia resident, I would have never known that my state is moving backward.
The right thing to do here seems to find the most horrible things these men have ever said, ok print it on big banners, and put it all over the school. Then when anyone tried to take them down, accuse them of cancel culture.
Yet they will do NOTHING in regards to bullying 😂😂😂
Please get a person who knows how to read. It's COUNTY. NOT COUNTRY.
These people sick! They can’t hide their ignorance
Robert E. Lee refused to write his autobiography. The reason, supposedly, was that he would have to apologize for his actions. He wouldn’t do that.
Doesn’t surprise me Virginia did have to capital city of the confederacy
They fought not just to keep their slaves and slavery in their states, but to expand slavery into new territories/states.
Name one new territory the Confederacy sought to expand itself into during the course of its short life. You seem to be confusing what the US did PRIOR to 1861 (eg the Mexican -American War) with what the Confederacy did on & after 1861.
@@Stephen-gi1rx That's kinda the point. They wanted such expansion as part of the U.S.A., were denied, so they seceded because of it (at least the states that listed the denial as a reason for seceding). I suppose the distinction between fighting for it (whether politically prior to secession or militarily afterwards) vs. seceding over it matters, but I'm glad we didn't find out what the C.S.A. would've done in that regard had their existence not been so short, or what the U.S.A would've become if those states had gotten their way and remained in the union.
@@ytyehyeh "They wanted such expansion as part of the U.S.A., were denied"
Actually, the slave states got the expansion they wanted through the Mexican-American War. How do you think Arizona & New Mexico, et al, as territories became part of the US? Unfortunately, in so doing they blew up the Compromise of 1820. That led to the Compromise of 1850, but that got blown up itself not long after by the Kansas-Nebraska Act debacle, which led to the collapse of the Whigs & the rise of the Republican Party, who came to be perceived as an antislavery party..
ytyehyeh: "so they seceded because of it"
No, they seceded because the Republican Party won the 1860 presidential election (in part because the Southerners insisted on running their own candidate, who in turn split the Democrat vote).
ytyehyeh: "I'm glad we didn't find out what the C.S.A. would've done in that regard had their existence not been so short"
You don't seem to understand why the slave states were pushing for the expansion in the first place: to avoid the free states outnumbering the slave states by a wide enough margin to allow the abolition of slavery via a constitutional amendment. By forming a union of their own in 1861 with no free states at all the motivation for ANY expansion was thereby removed. (From 1800 to 1846 the nunber of free states & slave states was the same. That ended in 1846, which by no small coincidence was the first year of the Mexican-American War. By 1858 there were 17 free states and 15 slave states.)
Honoring Traitors?
Please do some studying and get your facts straight before you comment and make a comment that makes you sound like an absolute dumb ass.
Enemies of the US
Confederates were traitors to the US. They killed US soldiers and stole US land. Traitors.
Shenandoah County Public Schools contains 10 schools and 5,676 students. The district’s minority enrollment is 30%. Also, 50.4% of students are economically disadvantaged. Yet THIS is what they want to focus on
look at the "diversity" in that crowd lol
Why are celebrating racists and enemies of the state
How many schools, towns, cities, and even states in the United States are named after George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other assorted slave owners from 1776? By doing so is America "celebratring racists"?
It would be great if private donations were made to improve the educational experience and opportunities.
Why they don’t name their school “ Adolf Hitler “ school???
Because the US Congress recently decided that antisemitism wasn't so hype anymore (congrats to the GOP for finally changing their position btw!). Therefore you can be hateful towards whoever you want as long as it's not towards Jewish people. So I guess unless you don't want to be arrested you're better to play it safe with good old racism against black people!
Am I crazy or it's like if people were treated differently depending on race an religion!? 🤔
I think in US a district can name a school Adolf Hitler!
Germany could. He wasn’t an American so it really wouldn’t make sense here.
@@JohnChimpo69
Of course it doesn't make any sense. And it will be stupid.But not illegal.
In Germany Nazzi symbols are illegal.
In the US there is a Nazzi party.
@@plau2007 it shouldn’t be illegal there either. Europe is a ridiculous place without freedom of speech and expression.
Is it a thing in the South to still be bitter about losing the civil war?
Honoring traitors.
How do you think this country was founded? Treason against the British Crown.
The next thing they will do is to name a daycare center after the OK bomber or a post office after the Unabomber!
I wonder if in perhaps another hundred years the decendents of
German Nazis will memorialize Nazi leaders as heroes of their
heritage. Can you imagine an Adolf Hitler high school in
Berlin?
No, but I wouldn’t take offense to something named after Erwin Rommel, Albert Speer or that Luftwaffe pilot who led a crippled B-17 to safety.
The Germans and the rest of the world are more civilized than the US.
@@arnibah 100%, but its not the US peoples fault, its decades of corporate media brainwashing, corrupt political system and large economic and social gaps created by very right wing policy.
Every country has their right wing greedy, unempathetic voting cohorts its just they have been kept in check because of social programs, better public schools and more equal society.
Virginia needs a special class in H 5:08 istory taught to the school board and a have to course in grade school, junior high, & high school taught by a really good history teacher at every level.
Imagine for a moment that we had kept all the confederate statues, but we added historical plaques, linking those statues to the clan, daughters of the confederacy and listing the crimes that happened in association with those statues or historical figures. Make it historical and attach the names of the defenders and supporters. Make them own it. Every day
seriously, honour racism ?!!!
This was my kids' school board. I went to a meeting to discuss insurance for the electrical classes. They were discussing CTR, and the racists were out.
I feel so bad for the native Indians
Removing Confederate Statues has long been a substitute for real progress and action among Democrats towards the real issue of crime, poverty and education in the Black community.
No....BOTH should be done
Which is still more than what Republicans will do.
Attention Shenandoah School Board. In the immortal words of GOP voters when Trump won in 2016 (and not since); Its over! You lost! Get over it!
They were fighting a war, for the right to own a human being, which they considered their property. These. MF's, aren't. Heroes
So why didn't Maryland and Delaware leave the Union?
@nghtwtchmn129So why were the Confederates traitors to the USA?
Some of them are.
The CsA lasted 4 years. The transformers has been a franchise for almost 40years. They should have name schools Megatron high and starscream elementary.
You speak the truth!! So embarrassed to be a resident of Shenandoah County!!
Switch Levels. Stop playing their game
Why not agree to the Name Change but Stipulate that it Must include history
Then…put all the historical crimes committed by Stone Wall on a plaque w the school board names at the bottom.
Make them own it
Who’s going to approve that in that district?
@@ajatathemu I don’t know, but the current tactics aren’t workimg
@@humbertojimenez3475 it did work. They are reversing. Never give up ground. Fight again!
I need a white southerner to explain this weird fascination with losers and traitors.
It's a relatable thing to them. That's why.
I guess so because they are madly in love with one now. I'm sure they'll want to name schools and roads after him too.
You sound like an Israeli settler from the West Bank puzzled by all "this weird fascination with losers and traitors" named Palestinians.
Unbelievable.
Of course, they would want to bring those names back. They don't see anything wrong with being a traitorous bigot.
Oh stop it already. Get it together and think and reason like a rational human being. Stop being so prejudice.
I can’t think of anything I care about less.
The Confederacy didn't just want to keep slavery, they wanted to expand it both with in the US and internationally.
As a Native American I can sympathize with the minorities who want to NOT honor the memories of oppressive Confederate figures, but, as a historian, I have to side with those who wish TO honor those same figures. My ancestors fought on both sides in the Civil War. HISTORY NEEDS TO BE REMEMBERED: EVERY SIDE OF EVERY HISTORICAL EVENT NEEDS TO BE REPRESENTED AND REMEMBERED IF WE AND FUTURE GENERATIONS ARE TO LEARN ANYTHING FROM PAST EVENTS!
So you'd be ok with your people putting up a statue of Andrew Jackson in the middle of the Rez? I understand the need to preserve history but it is unnecessary and frankly dangerous to memorialize certain people in history. It legitimizes their actions
So would you be ok with an Osama Bin Laden statue in NYC?
The Confederacy was a terrorist org.
I totally agree with the aspect of teaching the history, but do we need to, or should we, uplift people in history who were treasonous or lacked the values we would like to project onto our kids or others? I’m 52. I grew up loving Bill Cosby (through Fat Albert, The Cosby Show, and his comedy). Would I suggest though that a statue of him be erected, or support a school being named after him now, no. He still holds a place in the history of our popular culture (which cannot be denied or removed) but it doesn’t mean we need to, or should, celebrate him going further. Maybe you disagree?
@@bobbafett1849 Completely out of context, as Osama Bin Laden was not an American.
TELL EM CENK
If they want to name it after someone ignorant and stupid change itnto Roseanne
I need to teach the real history about the Confederacy
The Confederacy was not about slavery not about racism not about hate it was a war on taxation without representation the South made up about 20% of the population then and was paying over 80% of the taxes as a descendant of a Confederate soldier I'm proud of my heritage it was a war against Northern oppression
Long overdue ! If NOT remove MLK off everything .
@@JackHammer-ui4yjIf what you said about taxes is true, it would make sense. Plantations created A LOT of money, so taxes would produce more money. The confederacy admitted the civil war was about slavery. Stop pretending the confederacy wasn’t a bunch of racists trying to keep their slaves.
@@JackHammer-ui4yj you’re sharing white supremacy disinformation. The total tax generation for all northern ports, including New York, was $48.3 million. New York City collected $34.9 million in tariff revenues.
The entire South generated only $4.0 million in tariff revenues, with New Orleans being the southern port that collected the most, at $3.1 million. New Orleans was captured without resistance by the Union in 1862.
Dude no one likes taxes but no one will war over taxes 😂😂. You need a humanly reason for war. You had lawyers in the south. If it's taxes the court system would just rule in the states favor 😂😂
Virginia I never saw being so racist.
Even people in the north over all at the time were not sanits. They fault gor the north for the union,not to free the slaves, even Lincoln said before the war, if he could send the slaves back to Africa, to save the union. That would of been his first choice.
Abolitionist groups were at least allowed to exist in the north. The south instituted full on censorship of anything criticizing slavery, as well as ostracizing & harassing those who dared speak out.
That was cctv of the most racist nursing home
That's pretty good
No federal funds for schools named after confederate generals. Change or close any military base named after a confederate general.
Shut up clown
Negative ghostrider
Not surprised...😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
I don't get why you'd want to commenrate those that lost?🤔
They are stupid they always have been
God Bless Shenandoah County deo vindice
Those who erase history are bound to repeat it.
There’s no erasing that Confederates are traitors and white supremacists 🇺🇸
I say they are all a bunch of losers!
Native Americans fought against the US in the indian Wars of 1860-1890. They lost. Are they a bunch of losers also?
I use to work for Long Beach Unified in Long Beach, California where we use to have a Robert E. Lee Elementary. The school use to have a black Principal working there too.
HOOOOWEE!! Get them confederate dollars boys. The South she's a risin
Risin .....lol .. hysterical. Red states or the "South" are last in almost everything, education, health care, wages, literacy, prenatal care, maternal and infant mortality and if it wasn't the blue states subsidizing them they would SUCK even more...sweetie risin out of the toilet bowl to hang on the rim is not the win you think it is ....NEXT

If you fly the Confederate flag, GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!
Wtf is wrong with these folks SERIOUSLY! Do they not understand history ?
Remember rather you like it or not they voted for it. Dont like it vote against it. Pretty easy.
Totally DESPICABLE.
What is totally despicable is 75% of black homes don’t have a father in it that’s Despicable
Americans need to focus on Palestine and Israel. Forget what Republicans are going to reverse. Forget and ignore what rights are slowly taken away here, let it be taken away... Focus on Palestine.

@bjunk5344 The inbred low IQ imbeciles can't walk and chew gum at the same time, are you like that too?
What is wrong naming schools heros. Not slave owners.
You can be both.
I’m wondering if the board considered public opinion to switch the names back. I hope the videos of those sessions are public information. And for the love of everyone: CNN can you inform the public before the actual voting occurs to increase engagement of the constituents living in that area?
@@MrRumcupwhy.
Remember when Jamie Oliver tried to get local food for kids but the school board insisted on the corporate stuff 'cos money. People laughed when he got upset, but who wouldn't be?
Good for them. Many of these leaders like Robert E. Lee have some good qualities. Plus, part of it is to give the middle finger to wokeness which I also applaud. They didn't commit treason, that is where you work against your country. They simply left and no longer wanted to be in that country. They didn't seek to harm or overthrow the North.
Treason is not a great quality. Remember they are all losers
@@killsun13 there literally was no treason. With treason you seek to harm or undermine the country, the South only sought to leave but were literally held in the Union at gun point.
@Spillers72 they were not held at gun point. They figuratively and literally fired the first shots by seceding months before Lincoln was inaugurated and firing at Ft Sumter. The confederate legacy of complete failure has been rewritten by apologists immediately after Lee, Johnston, Taylor and others surrendered. The confederacy started the war and are to blame for the devastation and humiliation they endured.
Do you want to see statues of Benedict Arnold and schools named after him?
I am certain you believe that Hitler had some "good qualities" as well, Mr. Apologist.
Thanks Dixiecrat.
But they lie and say they live for God
A show called 'The Young Turks' have a problem with the Confederacy? Lol. Do one.
There was overwhelming support during public comment for NOT changing the names back. The meeting lasted from 7pm til 12:30am.
Lee and Jackson were honorable men who were loyal to their state, Virginia.
Their State was involved in a civil war. A war to keep slaves. Not honorable at all!!
They were traitors to the nation that fought to preserve slavery. Why would we lift them up?
Racism is the part of Satan that y'all love to worship and celebrate. Makes you more abominable than sodomites. Oh yes, you go to church but Jesus is not fooled.
They were loosers, traitors, and racists.
