Dallas ISD votes 9-0 to rename Confederate school names

Trustees at the Dallas Independent School District voted unanimously on Thursday night to rename four campuses which were originally named after Confederate generals.

Board members did not select new names but rather left that process up to the communities near the schools.

William L. Cabell, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sidney Johnston, and Robert E. Lee elementary schools will all have new names by next summer.

“History is not going anywhere. History is in the history books,” said Seth Laughlin, father of two students at Stonewall Jackson.

Despite the lightning rod issue, not many people attended the meeting to speak out for or against the name changes.

“History is history. People should grow up and get over it,” said another father opposed to the name changes.

Adolf Hitler was also history but you don’t see us naming schools after him. Maybe some of the RWNJs would like to change that.
