Why did no one nominate Robert Eleementary School to begin with? I'm certain that Robert E. Lee would be happy with that name.
Because Robert Lee was a Confederate general in the US civil war

I'm not american so dont really know much about its significance.
Still would agree that it was a missed opportunity to not call it Eleementary way back when it was named.
I think there's a bit of "whoosh" happening...
