A 5th grader's petition is gaining traction after she pointed out how many schools are named after men, and asked to rename one after Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
calling for a local middle school to have its name changed to honor the late RGB.
“Dear Portland Public Schools, I feel strongly that we should change the name of Kellogg Middle School to Ruth Bader Ginsburg Middle School,” she wrote in her petition, which was posted to Change.org with her parents’ help. “I feel this way because it is a new school so it should have a new name. We have a lot of schools named after white businessmen. Lastly, if kids go to schools centered only on white males then kids who are not those two things may feel unimportant, or worthless even.
According to Ruby’s mom, Rachael Waas Shull, the little girl has been asking the district to name a school after RBG for years, but the justice’s death this year renewed her passion. She shared Ruby’s most recent letter about renaming the school, written in the wake of RBG’s death.
