Centennial school name changes

[partsed]

After hearing complaints from citizens, the Centennial school district is thinking about removing the word Lynch from three schools in the district. Evidently there was a family named Lynch in the area and they donated land to the district and the schools included "Lynch" in the names of the schools.

Had to yell at my radio (not that it did any good) after hearing this yesterday afternoon.

Wow

 

[teflon6string]

I need some context.,,

Do they object to the word lynch as it applies to the violent US history of racial prejudice?

Or are they ashamed of a (now former) US Attorney General who appears to have acted in criminal collusion with the lying husband of a lying Presidential candidate?

Lynch elementary schools will lose the 'Lynch' due to racial implications

Seems like they're not doing a good job of teaching if they can't teach the difference between a last name and hanging someone. There's words all over English with more than one meaning..

I played baseball in the lynch league.
What a joke, people will get offended by anything that can get them a little power or recognition.

Pure BS virtue signaling..... PERIOD.

Considering the population influx in that area, this does not surpise me.

CHS still had President Bill Clinton POTUS framed images in place long after GWB was president.

Not to mention the rainbow signs on several classrooms designating those spaces as a hate free zone.

Should I mention the classrom that was turned into a daycare for the unwed CHS students?

Fu@#tards at it again.

So now a hanging is racist?
You gotta be pretty ignorant to automatically assume it's racist.
Since when were horse thieves considered a race anyway!

I went to church with this family back in the day. There last name? bubblegum. Hope they don't donate money to a school.

 

[nehalemguy]

The simple solution to this would be to rename the schools using full names. "John T. Lynch Elementary" "Leslie V. Lynch Middle School", etc.

What would you like to bet that the "complaints from citizens" is really only one person complaining?

So that whole Florida hanging chad thing when Bush beat Gore was just a huge KKK rally, yeah?
