I think this is just plain silly, but I probably would've done the same if I were the superintendent.

simply call the boy's teams the stallions and the girl's teams the nag's.

The two new schools added since Tates Creek (named after a subdivision) was added in the 60s are Dunbar (Black poet-original, segregated Dunbar was closed around 1969 and was in a different part of town) and now Frederick Douglas. Saw Dunbar's cheerleader team in a competition one day when flipping around the TV channels. All white. Kind of funny.

That's incorrect. He refused to join.

It is absolutely correct. He knew about it and talked with John Y. Brown about it. Harriet Tubman actually recruited people for the raid. He was a co-conspirator as was Tubman. That makes him a terrorist and traitor.

He wasn't a co-conspirator. He even told Brown that he thought it was a bad idea and he never joined.

The Social Justice Warriors. Some school has to be first.

So if someone talked with the 911 terrorists about their plot and decided not to fly with them and fled to Cuba after the attacks, you wouldn't call them a co-conspirator?

He only thought it was a bad idea because he thought they would get caught, as they did.

Complaining about people who complain is dumb.
