Schools Still Bear Confederate Names | Washington DC News

Shenandoah County schools are still clinging to Confederate names like Ashby-Lee Elementary and Stonewall Jackson High, even after a federal judge ruled they violate civil rights laws and ordered immediate removal. With no firm deadline set, the school board is appealing the ruling while students face daily reminders of a painful past — all as the judge who issued the order prepares to retire. Plaintiffs, including NAACP attorneys and students, are pushing for urgency, even offering to reduce legal fees to speed up resolution, but the battle rages on with no clear end in sight.
