I say that those who want the name changed should have to pay for it themselves.)

** JANUARY 4, 2023
** Virginia school board votes to rename high school named after Founding Father who owned slaves. (Sad R., Virginia. George Wythe High School.

Will Wythe County and Wytheville in Virginia now have to be renamed?)
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.
