Fla. board keeps Klan leader's name at high school

What a Fuckin Joke!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ? A Florida school board voted late Monday night to keep the name of a Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader at a majority black high school, despite opposition from a black board member who said the school's namesake was a "terrorist and racist."

After hearing about three hours of public comments, Duval County School Board members voted 5-2 to the retain the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School. The board's two black members cast the only votes to change the name.

"(Forrest) was a terrorist and a racist," argued board member Brenda Priestly Jackson, who is black.

Betty Burney, the board chairman and the board's other black member, also voted against retaining the name.

"It is time to turn the page and get beyond where we are," she said.

Board member Tommy Hazouri voted to keep the name and said it is difficult to know "who the real Forrest is."

The board listened to passionate arguments from those on both sides. More than 140 people crowded into the meeting room, with another 20 watching the meeting on a television in the lobby.

Many urged a name change, saying the Forrest name was an insult.

"Nathan Bedford Forrest was part of the Ku Klux Klan, no matter how you put it. Nathan Bedford Forrest needs to be changed," said Stanley Scott, who is black.

"Congressional investigation began in 1871 to determine Forrest's ties with the Klan, if any. The Committee was chaired by William Tecumseh Sherman. "The outcome of the 1871 investigation was twofold. The committee found no evidence that Forrest had participated in the formation of the Klan and that even the use of his name may well have been without his permission. They also found that there was no credible evidence that Forrest had ever participated in or directed any actions of the Klan."

He was accused of responsibility for war crimes at the Battle of Fort Pillow for leading Confederate soldiers in a massacre of unarmed black Union Army prisoners, but in the face of conflicting evidence was later cleared by the US Congress.[2]

After the war Forrest opposed Reconstruction policies and federal occupation by serving as the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and commander of the Grand Dragons of the Realms.[3][4] He later worked to disband the KKK claiming it had become unpatriotic and violent.

Like it or not - he is part of the nations history.

Learn to read.

First part clears him of being one of those that created the Klan. The next part reads "participated in or directed any actions of the Klan"
"Actions" being those violent acts he was accused of that led to the initial investigation.

It dident say he wasent a member.

Maybe you should learn what the Klan was to begin with, before you try and educate people in US history. The Klan started out as a organization opposing the reconstruction era in the South. It later turned violent. At that time Nathan Bedford Forrest was one of those that tried to disband the klan, since it had become something else than what it was intended for.

Gee what a great reason to keep the name...because it is difficult to know who Forrest really was.

Come on now...it's tradition...

Much like slavery, human sacrifices, and worshiping a god used to be.

We need to honor and respect traditions - RIGHT?
