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.
