Controversy over Renaming Schools Honoring Confederate Leaders
A new lawsuit has been filed to prevent Mountain View High School in Virginia from reverting to its former name, Stonewall Jackson High School, after the Shenandoah County School Board voted to restore the Confederate general's name to the school. The NAACP chapter in Virginia is suing to rename the schools, citing discrimination against Black students and the glorification of historical figures associated with slavery and white supremacy.
