North East Independent School District Trustees voted Dec. 7, 2015 to keep the name of Robert E. Lee High School, five months after a student petitioned to change the name and gathered signatures of support from 11,000 people, including her Congressman and city councilman.

The NEISD Trustees need not use "all deliberate speed" to decide this issue.  It is a simple issue if you take a quick look at a history book that has not been edited by the TX State Board of Education.  Change the name NOW!

"Justice and equality was the mission that spanned his life,” Obama said. While Julian Bond was a legendary figure beginning in the 1960s, some young people may have no idea who he is or how his life relates to the #blacklivesmatters movement.
