Actually Florida started renaming schools several years ago that didn’t fit the mojo. Too, civil war status started being painted, damaged, and, finally moved. Of course it’s quite expensive to rename schools which school boards found out after their decision. Recently the Jacksonville Jaguars football team donated money so one particular school could have team football equipment with their new school name. Personally I preferred keeping both the old statues and school names. Keeping the old names is a reminder what actually happened long before many of us were born. Both good and bad. History is always both good and bad. However, to revise history by painting over schools, statues, and now books is clearly how Marx operated. This isn’t about just revising history it’s about eventually taking control of our country.
