Petition: Change the Name of Jefferson Davis Highway in Arlington

Why on earth do we name anything – roads, schools, whatever – after traitors, racists, etc. in the year 2015 in this country? Crazy. So…how about we rename anything with “Lee” in it “Lincoln,” like Washington-LINCOLN High School instead of Washington-Lee, or LINCOLN Highway not Lee Highway? Or we could name these schools, roads, etc. after any number of great African Americans. But Jefferson Davis and other traitors?  No thanks. If you agree, please sign the petition (click below) by a friend of mine and fellow Arlingtonian.
