Virginia school board votes to restore Confederate names to two schools
- Mountain View High School in Shenandoah County will be renamed Stonewall Jackson High School, and Honey Run Elementary will now be called Ashby Lee Elementary, following a 5-1 vote by the school board.
- The decision reverses the 2020 move to remove Confederate names from schools amidst a broader trend in Virginia and the South, responding to the Black Lives Matter movement.
- Those in favor of restoring the Confederate names criticized the previous board for disregarding popular sentiment and due process when the names were changed.
