Not saying you’re wrong but if that’s the case why was the school named after that same Tyler? ....... nvm. According to Tyler Texas online the city of Texas was named after the tenth president of the United States. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tyler as 10 president of US a strong supporter of Texas becoming a state sign the bill adding Texas to the Union. For this reason because he is given a large credit for making this happen is the reason for his name is given to the city of Tyler. Tyler served the shortest term as a VP. Tyler was of the Wig political party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWG91 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 If this current trajectory continues people will be like " I went to Blank City high school which is located in Blank City, Blank ". Hopefully no one is offended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I have no dog in the fight.... but 7 people, board members, should never have decided this. Or, a few kids coming to a board meeting. Should have been voted on in a special election in the city. This is how it works in America. Or, it used to... btw, I was on JISD school board for 9 years and I would have never taken it upon myself to change the names. The schools belong to the taxpayers, they should decide whether to change the names or not, not 7 board members. Too big (and expensive, and emotional) for just 7 Tylerites to make such a decision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTman7 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm wondering when and how this subject is going to be handled in Ore City. Regarding removing the mascot name of REBELS. I'm an OC alum. Hopefully, if it gets to that point, it will be decided by ONLY the townsfolk, current student-body, and alumni. Not a decision that should be made by 1 or a handful of people. I know it's made minimal media coverage thus far. There are two separate petitions being conducted...for & against. We shall see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to run in cycles. Evil folks in control have one thing in common. They burn books and most of all try to erase history. How many kids in today's schools have heard of the holocaust. I suspect only a few. Evil comes in cycles. Erasing history leaves us as a human race (Black, White, Indian, etc) more apt to go thru the same thing in later years. Embrace history and keep it alive so the generations following understand the evil yet to come.History should be kept alive to act to prevent future human disasters 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLEMAN Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I got one bad and one good comment. I challenge each of you to do a bit of reading and learn from the past. Lots of history out there. It always puts good against evil. If you can’t afford books most people have a Bible. Start with the Old Testament. Most written history follows it pretty closely. Nothing stays the same. Empires and countries come and go. The US is a babe compared to other societies. Our ability to overcome issues is remarkable. Let the Masses decide their fate as far as the city. Not the city council . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the school board has the authority to change the name. I’m not saying they did anything illegal. No. What I’m saying is what they did wasn’t prudent, IMO. None of us should ever make life decisions based on emotions...for the TISD board to make such a decision without a vote by the community is surprising to me. IMO, they acted on pure emotion. There should have been more discussion, more debate, and then a vote by the people that pay the taxes, just like bond elections. I doubt this will be challenged by anybody given the environment that we are in right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
