Some Of America's Schools Are Named After Horrible People

Nathan Bedford Forrest?

Seriously?

He's said to have seen the light toward the end of his life, but that's all I know about it. 

It'd have to have been some conversion to put his name in the running for a school.

I'm ok with some Confederate monuments and names on buildings here and there...but NBF is over the line by quite a long shot.

Silent Sam, for example, was fine. Sam's a monument to ordinary students who went to fight for their state. Of course the mob tore him down a year or so ago because Carolina's administration is a bunch of cowardly shitheads who thought that was the easy way out.
