I think it's stupid, rushed, and unnecessary to change the name as it is commonly known by. Drop all references to Josephus, but as noted in the link, the family overall has done many great things for Raleigh.
Both my kids went through there, I've been all over the campus many times, never saw Josephus' name anywhere. Doesn't mean it isn't somewhere there, but it's certainly not obvious/promoted. It's not been on WCPSS website for as long as I can remember.
Alas, it is what it is. It's not like anyone cared a month ago, and not like they will 5 years from now.
Anyone remotely familiar with the current BOE must know they salivated at the idea of accomplishing this. That said, I like the new name, and I guess WCPSS policy of naming schools after places and not people will probably prove to be wise. I expect Jefferson Elementary which I attended on LI to get picketed soon enough.
and, Steve Daniels was absent from ABC11 broadcast last night....
