Some members of the Tulsa School Board may be suffering from “renaming remorse.” Several board members say the name change from "Robert E. Lee" to just "Lee Elementary" does not go far enough.
The board voted to make the change earlier in the month, as it reviews the names of all Tulsa Schools. The Robert E. Lee name is considered offensive to some because of his slave holdings and Confederate General status in the Civil War.
Board member, Dr. Cindy Decker, apologized last night for her vote:
The board could still hold-up the Lee name change that goes into effect July 1st.
Chouteau and Columbus are two other schools that could face a name charge. That vote could come next month.
