A San Antonio high school voted Monday to change the name of the school from Robert E. Lee High School to LEE High School. LEE stands for Legacy of Educational Excellence.
The school made the decision in an effort to distance itself from it’s ties to the Confederacy.
The decision has not gone over well with all students, some of them are extremely upset at the change. So upset, that they are crying over it.
Needless to say, the internet has had a field day with the weeping students. Read some of the responses below.
