Reply to comment by VAtenkara in Richmond school district to rename Binford, Cary, and Ginter Park for $150k. by Charlesinrichmond

Also, these schools weren’t named because they fought in the Confederate army. They’re named because of what they did in Richmond and for the Richmond school system. Disagree with spending money on this.

Exactly, Binford and Cary were Richmond school superintendents, and did a lot of good for schools in Richmond. People are complex, and can do good and bad things in their lives. I’m really sick of this current puritanical black and white thinking about complex situations.
