**  Black students allege school district banned BLM attire but allowed nooses, c(C)onfederate symbols.  (Effingham, Georgia, schools.  To ban one and not the other goes against my way of thinking.  Either both are banned or both allowed.)

I must admit that I had never heard of George Wythe (but have gotten cheap gas in Wytheville, Virginia often).  Go to Wikipedia and read about him.  A remarkable man even if he did have slaves.
