A Virginia board is considering restoring the names of two schools which were originally named for Confederate generals but changed in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd.
"Times have changed. The makeup of our schools has changed," Walsh said."And I sincerely believe that revisiting the name change is not what’s best for kids."
Kyle Gutshall, a recent high school graduate who was elected to the board this year, argued:"In my opinion if you’re doing it countywide, you might as well throw the students out, because they don’t care."But other board members were adamant throughout the night that the decision first has to be what's right for the students.
They also didn't settle on what options would be in the survey, which they mostly agreed should have these questions:"I suggested a compromise: adding a third" option, Walsh said. “I did not agree to the name change, but I do not think we should change it back, and that’s where we left it that night, but we didn’t vote on it."The board likely won't vote on the issue then, because it is still hammering out the details of the survey, Walsh said.
