Just as much as people triggered by NAMES?
Jacksonville, Jackson Mississippi, Jackson Hole Wyoming... It isn't just schools we're talking about people trying to erase history via schools, roads, statues, libraries, city and town names.
There is a lot of Jackson and Lee stuff out there.
And setting the precedent leaves the door open for removing every Washington, Lincoln, Adams....

1984 here we come.

City names are not history.  Neither are statues.  Taking down statues does not erase history.  

Personally, I am in favor of re-naming things that are named after Confederate generals.  Those people do not deserve statues or names on high schools.  

As for Andrew Jackson?  That's probably going too far.  Although I am no admirer of that guy.  And Washington?  No way.  Washington was the greatest man that ever walked on this continent.  That's where I come down.
