There are a lot of people wanting to change Nathan Bedford Forrest High School's of Jacksonville, FL's name. They are requesting this name change based on a history that they believe is not worthy. What people don't realize is no matter what they believe of Forrest, he is a part of history and history cannot be changed. History is just that and should be taught and learned from. Show your Rebel Pride!
I went to school there ,class 1975..they were board back then and tried to change the name. N B FORREST was a gernral for the south in the civil war..he also belonged to the KKK..history is our foundation ....if you change our history we have none....

People need to grow up and stop being offended by historical names. History happened regardless of how you feel about it today.
