Read full article: Virginia board renames schools honoring 2 US presidentsPORTSMOUTH, Va. โ Schools in Virginia honoring two U.S. presidents who sided with or praised the Confederacy are getting new names, along with an elementary that honored a superintendent who funneled money away from Black schools. The Portsmouth School Board voted 8-1 Thursday night to change the names of Woodrow Wilson High School, John Tyler Elementary School and James Hurst Elementary School, news outlets reported. Hurstโs budgets funneled money to white schools over Black schools, according to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. I just think $443,000 needs to be concentrated in the resources for students,โ Board member Ted Lamb told WAVY-TV. He was the only board member who voted against the changes.
