Civil War II-- 532: No More J.E.B. Stuart High School in Virginia?

From the July 27, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  Confederate name may be expelled from Virginia school.  (Falls Church)  (Loss of Win under circumstances.  J.E.B. Stuart High School.   There has been a two-year debate and July 27, there will be a vote to determine the name.

The school opened in 1959 and the name was chosen the previous year during the height of the Civil Rights movement.  It would appear to me that the name was chosen as a slap in the face to the movement and as such I would agree to the renaming.

Also, if the majority of the students are Black, I would support renaming.
