    Default Texas HS spends $300,000 to rename Robert E Lee High to L.E.E.

    Any history book that is NOT a school book will tell you that Lincoln asked slave-owner robert e lee to be commander of all Union troops!!!! If lee was a monster then so was lincoln.

    http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/...ill-cost-300k/

    nov 16 2017 The Texas school district that recently voted to re-imagine a campus named for Confederate General Robert E. Lee with a more welcoming 21st Century nomenclature, unveiled that the projected costs to re-brand hovers around $300,000.
    North East Independent School District Superintendent Brian Gottardy presented a report to the trustees Monday estimating a $299,098 price tag to rename Lee High. However, this is not a complete makeover. He said that would have totaled more than $1.3 million and included changing the school’s mascot and spirit colors.

    Breitbart Texas reported that North East ISD trustees voted in October to change Robert E. Lee High to L.E.E., an acronym for “Legacy of Educational Excellence.” Potentially exorbitant costs influenced the trustees in choosing L.E.E. as the replacement name from more than 2,000 submissions received. At the time, Shannon Grona, school board president, noted: “We can minimize the number of things that need to be changed at the school.”

    Hey einstein. Secession is NOT treason.. America was founded on secession. And in the last 60 years most of africa seceded from the european powers that controlled them.

    Nothing wrong with secession. THINK, hate-king.

    No need to change the name of the school. I'm sure if anyone toured the school, that $$$$ could be used for any number of things.
    Any child, parent, faculty member, etc. simply cannot find a way to exist in the building, with the mascot and the spirit colors, the way they are, should just move on. Sad that the focus is on the name and not the children and the teachers.

    I'd say it was more to pander to the 84% black and wetback population on campus.

    It is if you agreed not to and then start and then fight a war against your erstwhile govt to do it.

    Next time you commit treason, I'd recommend winning, loser.

    How old is the school? Somehow, they've been able to keep the focus on the children until just recently. (And too rename it LEE H.S. is just a waster of money.lol)
    People need to stop wasting taxpayer money on their personal hangups. And focus on the children.

    Actually, they have just started to consider what it is like for a black child to attend a school by this name. FINALLY. The focus is on the children.
