Not sure why this is news<\/a>: Georgia has the most schools in the country still named after confederate figures<\/span><\/p>\n

Must be a slow news day or something.\u00a0 Finding out the fucking Georgia<\/em> still leads the nation in schools still named after people associated with the confederacy is about as surprising as finding out that it\u2019s still hot in the summertime in September here too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, why wouldn\u2019t it?\u00a0 Sure, Alabama is where the Confederate White House is and probably should be the state leading the nation in this category, but I\u2019m just going to swing wildly and throw out that Georgia has a greater black population than they do, and when you have more black people, that means there are more white people who want to try and denigrate them and hold them down, in ways like opening up a bunch of schools named after confederate figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing though; and a lot of this is assumption based on a few isolated cases; it\u2019s not so much that Georgia probably revels and takes pride in the fact that they\u2019re the leaders in this embarrassing statistic, it\u2019s probably more the case that as a branch of government, something as seemingly simple as changing the name to a school, still takes eons to do.\u00a0 Georgia might be #1 in confederate named schools, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that behind the scenes or at a more local level, this isn\u2019t news to the local citizens and parents of students at these schools, and change may or may not have already been prompted.<\/span><\/p>\n

I live in an area where there\u2019s one particular school that stands out.\u00a0 For literal years now, the topic of their name emerges, typically from a student that goes there, and typically of a minority background, bringing up the fact that their school is named after some confederate figure.\u00a0 Then the school and county drag their feet, stall for time, and be typical government, and then these students themselves eventually gradate out and then turn their backs to the SJW-ing they were most likely doing to posture for college and\/or attention, and then the conflict kind of resets back to zero.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve only been in my current area for five years now, but I\u2019ve already seen this cycle occur twice.\u00a0 It\u2019s but one singular instance in state with 45 schools named after confederates, but I\u2019m going to assume that this probably happens at more than just this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which is sad in itself, that it takes kids to get a ball that adults should have already been spinning for decades now, to start rolling, because their time is finite in these schools, and they\u2019re kids; they\u2019re not going to give a shit once they\u2019re gone, because they might actually have more promise and future than the generations before them.\u00a0 Or maybe not, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 But kids shouldn\u2019t be responsible for prompting this change in the first place, but here we are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever though.\u00a0 Fortunately for me, my home isn\u2019t in the district of the aforementioned school, so the likelihood of them going there is pretty unlikely, and therefore won\u2019t have to be bothered about trying to answer questions on if they know who their school is named after.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
