Do you believe the only thing of interest
is whether or not there's a problem?

Virginia CountyTo Re-Name Schools After Confederates

They now deny that heritage.
But there is a difference.
"Democrat" was & is the name of a political party.
What it represents is fluid.
"Confederate" was the name of a seceding wannabe
country. No longer existing, it is frozen in time as
treasonous attempt to continue enslaving humans.

Well, I don't think the capital city of Mississippi will be changing names anytime soon. So, they still have that.
On the other hand, Andrew Jackson would not have tolerated any secession. Old Hickory said he would have hanged any secessionists.
The Republicans had just as much of a racist heritage, and their only real beef with slavery was just the word itself. As long as they allowed sharecropping, sweatshops, and child labor, they didn't really need slavery, did they?
It doesn't work unless the eponymous name is evil, like the Confederates.
Trivia....
Quayle's embarrassing "potatoe" faux pas was caused
by trusting the flash card provided by the school.
The educators mis-spelled "potato" as "potatoe".

Much of our currency(bills and coins) depict slave owners. I reckon we need to change that.
Ironically the "white house" was built and then rebuilt using black slaves.

Yeah I just read that; but he could have ignored it...assuming he knew how to spell it.
PS
A Bush is evil by default.
I wonder what kind of design they could use. Although looking at this Confederate $100 bill, they depict slaves working in the field.

And are those still used?
Obviously, they're not legal tender anymore, but collectors might still be interested in buying them.
That's mere partisan hatred.
Think of people universally reviled for
acts agreed to be evil, eg, Lizzy Borden.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
It illustrates there are more pressing issues facing the nation then changing names.
There were slave owners who designed the Constitution
to allow for amendment to eventually end slavery.
And there were slave owners who committed treason
& murder to defend slavery.
Do you see significance in this difference?

Collectors buy many things from the past because they are collectibles.
Lets look at current currency. Take the $20.
It depicts a slave owner on the front.
The white house that used black slaves in its building and rebuilding on the back
Then there is "In God We Trust" which is a different issue.
I've heard some proposals to take Jackson's portrait off the $20 and replace it with Harriet Tubman. I don't know why it hasn't changed yet. I recall an earlier proposal to put Tubman on the $10, to replace Hamilton, but some people balked at that, since Hamilton was a good guy.

In modern times, the Obama-Biden and Biden-Harris Administrations have both allowed and supported wars that have killed thousands; Crimea and Ukraine. Should we rename the Obama Library and all statues with his name? Or should we use politics and not do what is best for the majority? Biden-Harris is still feeding arms into the Ukraine and Middle East, with all Lefty politicians signing the check. To be consistent, anything associated with any of their names needs to be stricken. Or is the Liberal dual standard in effect?
I was being facetious. I believe the only way to learn from history is to not hide from it or try to disguise it. It is useful to honor the past; good, bad and the ugly. These constant reminders make it harder to repeat the mistakes. If we hide it, so people will forget, then scoundrels will recycle the old music from the past and try to make it look original; repeating the past and call it new state of the art.
To me, the many Generals of all Wars, were never fully in charge of their fate. They are honored, by all sides, as being good soldiers following orders. It is always the Politicians who create war, approve and fund war. Then the Generals have to fight to win. In terms of the Civil War, it was the Southern Democrat politicians who voted to divide the country, into two, as a way to perpetuate slavery. These bad policy choices led to the Civil War. After that, hundreds of thousands of men, from both sides, had a job to do. Both sides, still honor all the grunts, who were victims of a fate, created by their political leaders. The majority honors the grunts, since they too are the grunts, forced to fight or obey; electric or else.
What would be best for the majority, is to put all the Politicians in an arena and let them fight it out. There will no more need to honor the Generals with statues. We can nip this in the bud. Trump and Biden can duke it out. Winner takes all. Trump only needs to knock Biden off his feet and it is over. Trump is like a football player and he will ram and tackle Biden, and then use an arm bar, until Biden taps out. This will save the majority of citizens from having to listen to all the lies and mud, as well as the promises that will not be kept. It is a win-win.
Now we have the Politicians, not only exempt; Obama Library, but still demonizing the very people who followed the orders of past politicians in their own party. This is a Lefty politician misdirect, to cover their own butts and their group responsibility connected to slavery and the Civil War. Democrats politicians of the past have all this blood on their hands but are sold as clean. Now they order the grunts and heroes to be dishonored and scapegoated, as a historical coverup, so they can do it again, and stick it to the majority; inflation, border invasion and crime.
