The leftist Falls Church, Virginia School Board voted unanimously last night to erase two Virginia-born founding fathers’ names from the city’s public schools, NBC News 4 reported. They will rename George Mason High School and Thomas Jefferson Elementary in the name of equity and fighting slavery.
“After deep and careful consideration of everything I’ve heard and read, I conclude that renaming both schools is in the best interest of our students and a necessary part of our equity work,” School Board Chair Greg Anderson said.
The community polling shows that Falls Church residents oppose the name change by an over 2 to 1 margin.
These petty despots don’t care what the people think.
“I considered the survey results and the community discussion that followed, and I revisited our public hearings,” Anderson said of the poll results. “…I conclude that the public is split,” he went on to say, despite just a quarter of poll respondents endorsing the name changes.
Nearly 3,500 former and current students, parents, and staff filled out a voluntary survey on the issue in October. Overall, 56% of the respondents said “no” when asked if the names should change, according to the school board.
The school board blathered about “marginalized children” feeling “uncomfortable” over “systemic racism.”
This is literally insane.

It’s a direct assault on our Founding and our history. They are erasing all that made this country great so that they can fill the vacuum with neo-communism. Who will our new heroes be?
These idiots calling themselves “the school board” probably don’t even know who George Mason and Thomas Jefferson really were. Where do they find these clowns? As for the survey, it seems that 56% against is a simple majority and that the names shouldn’t be changed just because someone got their panties twisted.
A good example of “systemic ignorance”…

Exactly. Jefferson and Mason were patriots of the first order, and the powers-that-shouldn’t-be’s plans to omit them from history have been ongoing gradually for well over two centuries in my opinion. The length which the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, Inc. will go to lie about its namesake, for examle, is staggering (e.g. Sally Hemings). In fact, the University of Virginia disrespects Thomas Jefferson’s memory each time they welcome new law students to campus during orientation when they state unapologetically that federal laws are made one of three ways in the United States: 1) by statute via by congress, 2) by regulations via the executive branch, and 3) by judicial review via the judiciary. Jefferson predicted this Article 1, Section 1 usurpation in a letter he wrote on August 18, 1799 to cousin and former SoS Edmund Burke, and he vehemently opposed the plans coming to fruition in1803. Jefferson was long dead by the time the second lawmaking measure I mentioned was unconstitutionally introduced by all three branches of our government in the 20th Century, and university law professors everywhere could not possibly believe any of this is constitutional (so think about that). Reading Article 1, Section 1 alongside the Amendment X clearly states only congress can legislate, yet, despite Jefferson’s admonitions & condemnations, the [S]upreme Court continues legislating from the bench as it did in Marbury v. Madison (where they not only struck down the Judiciary Act of 1789, but also struck down Article III, Section two with Marshall’s “opinion” that the Constitution contained “surplusage” language somehow making it a moot point (something scholars never dare mention). And they never even took the case! Jefferson understood well enough that the [S]upreme Court would then abuse its power by circumventing all our representatives, senators, and presidents (when signing bills into law) by a simple majority vote from unelected justices who are appointed for life. Similarly, the powers-that-shouldn’t-be managed to shore up these powers further over the next century by introducing & passing unconstitutional legislation empowering the Executive Branch to pass laws in the form of “regulations” which the SCOTUS gladly rubber stamped a few years later to create the illusion of legitimacy AND to further weaken American’s ability to hold their “leadership” accountable and to control their destiny. Article 1, Section 1 was written to ensure that the people creating the rules we all have to live by are publicly elected representatives in congress and thus removable. Marbury v. Madison was a conspiracy to usher in judicial review and stare decisis to start circumventing our elected officials (see Susan L. Bloch’s “The Marbury Mystery: Why Did William Marbury Sue in the Supreme Court” and read between the lines), and it was further accomplished more than a century later when executive bureaucracy also started legislating and the American public was further removed when even the president was no longer allowed to fire them (see Morrison v. Olsen, 1988). Now all three branches can point the finger at one another anytime they pass additional unconstitutional laws (a.k.a. the blame game), and Jefferson essentially predicted all this centuries ago. He also knew that congressmen were under the control of the international banking cartel from the beginning when Jefferson claimed they could get their way on any vote they wished largely to the machinations of Alexander Hamilton who the former considered a hereditary monarchist bottomed on corruption. All this is why the lottery Jefferson asked Congress to approve was never executed despite its approval. long story short, this ultimately allowed Monticello to fall into the hands of a faux Jefferson admirer before ultimately finding its way into the hands of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation in the next century which has at heart anything but the preservation of Jefferson’s legacy. Again, all this could not possibly go unnoticed by our academics, politicians, the American Bar Association, the media, etc… This is also easily proven beyond a reasonable doubt merely by reading the primary source material available in the congressional record.
