  In its written request to the board, the group cited surveys that it mailed to residents of the districts from which the schools’ students are drawn, saying that out of 1,160 responses to 8,507 surveys sent, more than 90% favored switching back to the Confederate names.

  First off, fuck these bigots. We should never give bigots what they want, and there’s no reason to want this unless you’re a bigot.

  Second, that’s not how this works. We don’t ask for a show of hands

  Third, if I got a survey in the mail from a bunch of bigots, I would definitely throw it away. It’s 90% of 1,160 people who responded to a bigot survey.

  "essential to honor our community's heritage."

  Bruh Virginia's heritage is a rocky slope filled with plenty of POS racists. Dont honor the few traitors weve had out of the countless individuals who excelled and made this country what it is today
