This school has always been the rebels and should never change because a group filled with hate, anger and negativity want to turn everything good and positive into a negative and try to control this country by bullying others and making lies out of history. The NAACP need to start in there own back yard before trying to degrade society!!!

We have been "Rebel" strong for years. Most of us are proud to be rebels, regardless of our skin color. This is taking it too far.

"Rebel," defined, has NOTHING to do with race nor ethnicity. Leave it alone. We love each other here, don't let these race-baiters tear us apart!

If you believe that a "reble" is a racist thing then one should be educated as to the definition of a reble

This is just comeplete idiocracy. I'm not even a Rebel, and this is about the dumbest thing I've heard. Leave well enough alone. Some people need to grow a backbone and stop being offended by such things.

My husband and I did not go to Byrne's HS but our daughters did. This is totally absurb to rename a Highschool after all this time and for no reason.
