Please DO NOT erase our country’s history. Instead let’s keep our monuments and history as a lesson for all to learn and grow from. May we always remain “Proud to be an American”!

Do not change the name of my High School. Thomas Jefferson was a man of his time. To now compare his legacy to the ephemeral standards of today is a great injustice to his legacy. What will happen when the standards are changed again in the future? Thomas Jefferson is one of our founding fathers, and as such should have schools, buildings, and roads named after him, and his life taught at all schools. He does not deserve to be cancelled by today's "enlightened" populace.

Ridiculous, keep history intact. One can not alter the past. I am a Decatur grad/Lakota/Illahee.....I am sure they are in the crosshairs too.

Leave the name as it is!! Those of us that went there, it is now OUR history! If the name changes, it is like they are trying to change OUR history as well!!

'74 Have toured his home and library. He was a smart man, worked hard for our country. He owned slaves but treated them very well. Cannot change history, but learn from it. Must judge him from the era, not todays standards.

Thomas Jefferson did far more good than bad. Judging history by today’s standard is ludicrous
