Quote:Robert E. Lee Elementary School is no more. The oldest magnet school in Hillsborough County, which some school board members were trying to rename as part of a nationwide movement to remove Confederate symbols, burned down on Tuesday night as hundreds of residents watched and children cried.

Odds that this was the result of a peacefull protest?

Dog save us from the modern crusaders looking to save us from old names and moldy statues.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that this was arson. From reading the article, sounds like a possible power surge from when the electricity came back on following the Hurricane. Let the folks investigate and we'll have a reason for the fire soon enough.

This has nothing to do whatsoever with peaceful protest. If it was done deliberately, it's arson and the people who did it should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
