"About 80 people spoke Thursday before the board's vote — more than 50 of them against restoring the old names."
Despite the pleadings of living citizens and students, the school board voted to honor dead Confederates.

@TMRuppert I think you're confusing honoring with recognizing.

So very often, we recognize people for both their positives and their negatives as a way of expressing that we all need to do better.

That's what I hear from these discussions.
