But not the city name?

Well, it was a Tyler ISD vote.  But there is some irony in that a school district in the City of Tyler is dropping the high school name Tyler because of racial overtones.

Why would the city name be gone? City is Tyler, no first or last name of it. City could be named after Tyler Herro. 

From wikipedia 

Founded1846

Named forJohn Tyler

 

If the name isnt good enough for schools? Why would be for a city, county, state?

I agree.

City is named after John Tyler. Tyler County is named after John Tyler.

BTW, what did John Tyler do that was so offensive?

Lee gone. John Tyler gone. New names coming. 

I understand Lee. 

What did John Tyler do that was racist? Only thing I remember about him was he wasn't elected (was a VP then the President died) and was a very forgettable President, didn't do much.

Change both. City could be named after Tyler Smith, Tyler Craphead. Don't matter. Don't change just one at this point. 

 

Glad it finally happened, should've happened years ago tbh. 

 

Honestly Tyler only needs 1 HS. I wish Earl Campbell had the name on it.

He was a member of the Provisional Confederate Congress from 1861 until his death in 1862.  He has been elected to the Confederate House of Representatives but died before he took office.

So the city should change it's name as well because of this?

If they wanna start it, why not finish it? Kinda like PNG situation, nobody cares about the county name across the Neches.

Until they cut PNG's federal funding over it. Which will happen by the later half of 2021, in my estimation. 

The Department of Education under the new Biden/"black woman" ticket will move to strike funding for all schools with offensive mascots.  Also gonna steer funding from "privileged" areas to "minority areas" in the name of "social justice."  You get to do that when you scream racism and nobody challenges you.  The fact that you went unchallenged makes it accepted as truth.

And don't be offended by the "Biden/black woman" tag... he said it first.

The state of Washington has to go too. There is no end in sight. America has to be totally destroyed. BLM has NOTHING to do with George Floyd. Its about the raw hatred and destruction of our nation.
