Okay but they still were Confederates. Just because you can’t name every Nazi doesn’t mean they weren’t ones. Also, what does him maybe having been a gay man have to do with anything ?

There is never going to be a great time to spend this money but as someone pointed out earlier, it breakdowns to very little money per student. Maybe like Karmas suggested, spread out the renaming throughout the years.

so rename them. I'm fine with the not honoring confederates. But can't we find one Cary out there who was a good guy? How about John Cary the mapmaker? Let's just rename Cary after him. Yes, I'm serious. And was Ginter really that bad? (serious question, I though he wasn't, but I'm a yankee, I don't know)

It's always "pennies a day". but how many textbooks would that money buy in a system that needs them?
