Hey Brian, this post is just for you #KeepJohnsonsName

Remember when I said this?
 Why is it when student's, alumni, and any number of councilmen and officials call to inform the Superintendent he is making a gargantuan mistake changing the name of Lee High School, he acknowledges his mistake and backtracks on his proposal, but when J.O.Johnson High School alumni and students protest, and any number of councilmen and officials call to inform him he is making a gargantuan mistake changing the name of Johnson High School,  he violates district policy and changes the name of not just Johnson but Davis Hills Middle School too?  This is indeed the Pinnacle of Hypocrisy.
 Last night the Huntsville City School Board of Education violated their own policy on the Selection of School, Facility, and/or Property Name (Policy 2.9, presented September 5, 2013) by concluding the process and voting on the new names approximately three weeks before they were allowed to do so.

And you said this?
Also, did the J.O. Johnson students get up and walk out of class in protest of the name change like the Lee students did? I have seen nothing about students protesting the J.O. Johnson name change.
Well here you go.



Again, if it's not hypocrisy what is it?

Then yes that would be an example of hypocrisy. Thank you for showing me it.

The students still didn't go the extra step that Lee students did. Lee students disrupted the school day. Johnson students didn't.

But thank you for showing me this, but you could have said that in a comment rather than attacking me by dedicating a post about it.

Johnson students weren't allowed to disrupt the school day. As a matter of fact, students, faculty, and staff were forbidden to discuss the name change. Students were told if they participated in a walk out they would face punishment and teachers were told they would be fired.
