Famous High School May Be Renamed After George Floyd

The Bible advises that you will know a tree by its fruit. This principle is especially applicable to ideology. A rotten tree produces rotten fruit. A rotten ideology produces lunacy like this:

An Alexandria, Virginia, school board might rename one of the country’s most well-known high schools after George Floyd.

George Floyd was a career criminal said to have robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint. His only claim to fame was that his death was exploited as a pretext to riot after he died, evidently of a fentanyl overdose, while in police custody. A society that holds up violent criminals as role models has doomed itself to failure.

T.C. Williams High School, the subject of the movie “Remember the Titans,” will be renamed because its namesake, Thomas Chambliss Williams, held segregationist views.

Anyone who ever held views inconsistent with up-to-the-moment woke dogma is to be canceled, regardless of their accomplishments. “Liberalism” is a zero-tolerance ideology.

The Alexandria City School Board voted to rename the school as part of the ever-escalating War on History. What they will rename it to remains undetermined.

Among the 50 possible names for T.C. Williams are “George Floyd Memorial High School,” “Ruth Bader Ginsburg High School,” “Kamala Harris High School,” and “Diversity High School.”

Diversity High is good. They could make another movie about the school: a prequel to PCU.

A document on the school board’s website notes that it did not include feedback from students and parents who suggested keeping the names as they are, “due to the fact that the Alexandria City School Board has already voted to change the names.”

Alexandria’s Matthew Maury Elementary School is getting a name change too, its namesake —an oceanographer who lived in the 19th century — having recently been found guilty of political incorrectness. Possible new names include “Black Lives Matter Elementary School.” Nothing gets schoolchildren off on the right foot like naming their school after an explicitly antifamily organization founded by avowed Marxists that caused $billions in damages with hundreds of riots.
