Being a student of Washington Lee myself, I have ran into many people who asked me my opinions on the topic and what I thought the outcome may be. Every time, I said the same thing, "I don't know". After doing a project in our English class and doing research on Lee and other factors that may impact the decision, I have concluded that Washington Lee should not be renamed. This school has a long history of being one of the best schools in Virginia. Changing the name would wipe away our reputation. It is clear that Lee's viewpoints on some topics, like racism, don't align with modern day values or what Washington Lee’s values are. However, that was a century ago, having slaves was acceptable at the time and the majority of the US had the same views. Especially Virginia being a southern state, made his views more accepted.

    For the Air Force, it’s nothing new. Women in Combat By Amy McCullough, News Editor 30 AIR FORCE Magazine / August 2013 ore than 200,000 women serve in the US military—roughly 15 percent of the force. These women lead convoys down Afghanistan’s dangerous dirt roads. They risk their lives every time they diffuse an improvised explosive device. They dodge bullets as they provide medical care to wounded troops. They fl y fi ghter jets and drop bombs. Three female airmen have made the ultimate sacrifi ce since the wars in Iraq andM Afghanistan began. Twenty-three more have been wounded in action. USAF photo TSgt.by Jeffrey Allen After more than a decade of fi ghting two simultaneous counterinsurgency wars, the front lines have become blurred. One thing is clear: Women have proved capable in combat. “It’s clear to all of us that women are contributing in unprecedented ways to the military’s mission of defending the nation,” said then-Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta in January as he announced plans to open up more roles to women in combat. He continued, “They’re serving in a growing number of critical roles on and off the battlefi eld. The fact is that they have become an integral part of our ability to perform our mission.” Panetta said female service members have “demonstrated courage and skill and patriotism” as they “have faced the reality of combat, proven their willing- ness to fi ght and, yes, to die to defend their fellow Americans.” During that same Jan. 24 briefi ng, Panetta and Army Gen.
