Virginia school district reverses decision to name Mountain View High School after Stonewall Jackson High School.
School board voted 5 -1 in 2020 to remove the name of the Confederate general.
Four years later , the school board reversed its decision, changing back to the original name honouring the general.
Stonewall Jackson High School and Ashby-Lee Elementary changed their names.
The schools' names are a reminder of local history, and that the process to change their names didn't account for everyone’s views.
The lawsuit claims the school board is contravening the First Amendment right against compelled speech.
