The high price of political correctness
http://www.realclearinvestigations.com/a..._high.html

A change.org petition lead to changing the name of Jeb Stuart HS in Virginia. Now it will cost the local district $250,000 to change the sign. Some estimates of name changes are up to $800,000.

Maybe it would have been cheaper if they renamed it Jeb Bush High School

I've always thought that's how schools were named. My area stopped naming schools after people after integration. It's County High, Direction County High, Town High, etc.

Even heavy hitters like Enloe, Byrd, Terry Sanford, and Rose were opened in the 50's and 60's.

iirc from the obama "word salad" lexicon, tax increase also means "investment in our future".

No way the word "girl" will be in the title. That's the cardinal sin sin of assuming gender identity.

I had assumed that in pursuit of progressive feminist gender equality they would have to separate the self-identified females from the self-identifeid males in separate but equal facilities.

You know, for equality.
