Not to mention on every man hole cover
Not sure if it has already been said, but Forrest high I believe is named after klan leader/member.

Edit: yeah Nathan Bedford Forrest was a confederate army general and clan member known for killing black soldiers at fort Pillow(odd fort name). But yeah, I don’t think a high school should be named after a guy like this.


I’m with hurricane on this one, Germany doesn’t fly Nazi flags or memorialize hitler. We can still be taught our history without having statues of people and symbols that are synonymous with slavery and some of this countries darker past.

Pretty sure Forrest HS was renamed a few years ago. 

I’d expect Lee HS will be next.
