NewzA federal judge has ordered a Virginia county school board to remove Confederate military names that were restored to two local schools earlier in 2024. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the Virginia NAACP, which successfully argued that the board's decision to reinstate the names constituted discrimination against Black students.
The court's decision mandates that the school board must change the schools' monikers once again, reversing the 2024 restoration. The legal challenge centered on the civil rights impacts of honoring Confederate figures in the public education system.
