A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I don't strictly agree with changing names back, but it's still conservative. What do y'all think?

To me what’s important is when they were named.

In this case it's May 2024. Mountain View High School had its name changed to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary was changed to Ashby Lee Elementary in May of 2024.

That’s just people protesting the recent changes. I suspect these were names in the 1960’s. That’s the common theme. As such I have no issue with them being renamed.

That said I don’t live there and people have a right to govern themselves. I think this is just an anti “woke” thing but unless the school was honoring the confederate, which they rarely are, they shouldn’t have been named in the first place.
