A Virginia county school board is reinstating Confederate names to two schools, reversing a decision made four years ago after the murder of George Floyd.
In a 5-1 vote, the Shenandoah County Public School board reversed a previous board's 2020 decision to change the names of schools linked to Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Turner Ashby, three men who led the pro-slavery Southern states during the Civil War.
The decision came after an hours-long meeting. More than 50 people opposed the reversal.
According to the Virginia Department of Education, more than 5,600 students attend Shenandoah County Public Schools. 75-percent are white, 18-percent are Hispanic, and 3-percent are Black.
