I think it's safe to say, there will not be any school's named after Trump!

I have no problem with the name change. It's an all black school in Mississippi, why would it be named after Jefferson Davis? Let their school be named after someone they can look up to.

Yup, fine with me too. And, the all-white schools can do the same.

Who would white schools name themselves after that they haven't already?

It would never be allowed anyway...I was just showing a comparison. Been a few school names and statues of certain white historical figures that have been changed, vandalized and/or torn down the last few months because of emotionally triggered people. It's a one-way street, that's the way it is these days.

Evidently it must still be segregated if they have "all black" schools.

How many all white schools are named Malcolm X? Not saying Malcolm X and Jefferson Davis are the same but trying to come up with an analogy.

I understand what you're saying. All I'm saying is it should be a two-way street. If people want the name of a school to be of a black or a white person, just let it be done without any drama.

Was there any drama in the renaming of this Mississippi school? (not a rhetorical question)

I am truly amazed that a predominately black school would have a name like that anyway. Why didn't they choose a black person who actually lives or lived in Mississippi like B. B. King, Oprah Winfrey, Mae Bertha Carter or Morgan Freeman?
