2026/08/07

A federal judge has ordered a Virginia school board to scrap Confederate-named schools, ruling that restoring Stonewall Jackson and Ashby-Lee names discriminates against Black students. The judge emphasized that these names glorify slavery-era figures and perpetuate racial harm in classrooms — a stark contrast to the inclusive education they’re meant to foster.
