He said the schools' names are a reminder of local history

Bro, it is a school, it quite literally exists to teach people things like that

and that the process to change their names didn’t account for everyone’s views, because pandemic-era restrictions made it challenging for people who opposed the change to attend school board meetings where the votes took place.

It was only challenging, specifically for you, because you referred to a mask a 'face diaper'. You were not disenfranchised, you are an idiot

A reminder of the history of changing school names in the 1960s to make black students feel unwelcome? Is that the history they're trying to make endure? Because that's the history of the naming of that school.

At least it didn't bother RILEY.
