BTW, if you don't know your Civil War history, Stonewall got his name in Manassas but made his fame with what he did in the Shenandoah Valley, especially Shenandoah County, Virginia.

From 6th District GOP Chairman John Massoud:

"Tonight at 7 PM the Shenandoah County School Board will meet to have a public hearing on whether to re-name Stonewall Jackson HS - back to Stonewall Jackson HS. In 2020, the leftist Shenandoah County School Board - for no particular reason, decided to rename Stonewall Jackson HS and turn it into Mountain View HS - aka what you'd name an assisted living facility or retirement home.

I'm imploring all of you to email the 6 School Board Members and ask them to do the right thing and change the name back to Stonewall Jackson HS. Here is what I'll be saying in my email, feel free to copy and paste this and send to each of the School Board Members listed below:

Shenandoah County has one of the richest histories in Virginia. We have a rich American Revolution and Civil War history. We should be teaching history - not erasing it. The original name change didn't change anything. All that was done was to appease those who cannot be appeased. I hope this Board does the right thing and changes the name of what was once Stonewall Jackson HS back to - Stonewall Jackson HS
