I am an old Lamar grad and think the whole name change idea is stupid. However, the violence that happens in schools these days, without any reason, calls for unusual actions to hopefully prevent these horrible and insane events. However, focusing on controversy where there is none may fan a flame, so to speak. I doubt that many of the targeted students were even aware they should be offended. Their grandparents my be bothered but not today’s students.

How about naming them the Lamar Lambs. After this cave-in, Rangers (of all kinds) will be offended.

I really hate the PC Nazi’s, but the real irony of this is that Lamar hated all Indians. It was under his administration and leadership of the Rangers that the most violent and ruthless attempts to exterminate them were conducted. He would have hated to have the sports team of a school named for him called the Redskins. I am sure though he would have approved the Rangers. I bet HISD and the PC folks would too. Perhaps with the name change Lamar will stop spinning his grave.

Shouldn’t Terry be more focused on not hiring sexual predator teachers, overall teacher performance, and making sure kids can read/write and understand math before they graduate?
