Instead of giving so much time, energy and discussion to which schools need to be renamed, how about we give this focus toward how to teach civics inside those schools?
The discussion of who to honor or not in such things as naming schools could be part of that, but if the goal is to confront systemic racism, and build more inclusive and fair-minded places of learning, what happens inside the classroom is what will make the difference.
