This is getting out of hand. If people were taught more history in school, this wouldn't be happening. Just seen where someone is wanting Crackle Barrels name.

You can't change history. If you want to honor someone, name a government building after them.

This school and its name is a piece of our history. Too much of our history has already been destroyed in attempts to please the minority who use "racism" or "it offends me" as their battle cry. We must make a stand against those who do not know their own history and are after their own selfish goals.
By Federal act of Congress (May 23, 1958) all Confederate veterans are recognized as Unites States Military Veterans, and deserve all the rights and honors pertinent to such service.
Public Law 85-425: “Sec. 410. The Administrator shall pay to each person who served in the military or naval forces of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War a monthly pension in the same amounts and subject to the same conditions as would have been applicable to such person under the laws in effect on December 31, 1957, as if his service in such forces had been service in the military or naval forces of the United States.”
Approved May 23, 1958 –
SOURCE: US Statutes at Large
Volume 72, Part 1, Page 133-134.
” Every soldier’s grave made during our unfortunate civil war [sic] is a tribute to American valor… And the time has now come… when in the spirit of fraternity we should share in the care of the graves of the Confederate soldiers… and if it needed further justification it is found in the gallant loyalty to the Union and the flag so conspicuously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grandsons of those heroic dead.” …President William McKinley, 14 December 1898
Please keep the SJHS name!
