So why not just leave it alone if it’s no big deal?

I guess I can see why a school named the "Rebels," in a state which joined the confederacy, might seem to some like it's in some way honoring or even celebrating the confederacy, and that black students or towns people would be offended by that.

The Admirals doesn't seem to celebrate anything which was so wrong, and designed to perpetuate slavery, as was the confederacy.

You guys are amazing people and I respect you all so much. I believe this petition will have to be so much more fair and strong, seeing how it is not "woke" than the opposition using an online app petition with voters in China and Brazil. I'll likely have to get local signatures with authentic ballots for each.

Franklin High School Rebels: The Battle of Franklin in Tennessee, which took place on November 30, 1864, was one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles, particularly devastating for the Confederate Army. Around 10,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or captured in just five hours of intense fighting. The Confederates suffered about 6,200 casualties, with at least 1,750 killed, while the Union had around 2,300 casualties, with approximately 200 Union soldiers killed.

Cancel the Gators, there are racist cartoons using caricatures of alligators to marginalized groups.

Cancel the commodores, Cornelius Vanderbilt-- he was racist.

so are you--


Central Michigan Chippewas, Named after the Chippewa tribe

William & Mary "tribe"

University of Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns

University of Oklahoma Sooners – Named after settlers who participated in the Oklahoma Land Rush, which displaced Native tribes

Texas Tech Red Raiders initially included Mexican references

University of Massachusetts Minutemen/Minutewomen – colonialism.


University of Vermont Catamounts – Vermont’s "Green Mountain Boys," some of whom participated in colonial conflicts against indigenous groups.


Yale University Elis – Derived from Elihu Yale, a controversial figure involved in the East India Company, which has raised questions about colonial history and exploitation.


East Carolina Pirates – Reflects the region's history with piracy, but some argue it romanticizes a violent history that affected indigenous and Caribbean cultures.


Vanderbilt Commodores – Named after Cornelius whose wealth was built on exploitative practices.


University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish Embraces Irish heritage, but some see the term and leprechaun imagery as a caricature of Irish stereotypes.


University of North Carolina Tar Heels – Named after laborers in North Carolina’s tar and pitch industries, some of whom were enslaved, leading to questions about historical ties.

No, you said it wasn’t a big deal but now you’re making excuses as to why it somehow was. Why was one person and people that had zero affiliation with school allowed to change it? Why wasn’t it left to students at the school and the surrounding community?

Yep international countries and nationwide tumblr, twitter. Instagram, decided my high schools name that my 4th generation ancestors deserve to be wiped from memory forever despite one of them being a full blooded native American that they love to defend. Huge regiments of them too.

It was a panel of administrators, community leaders, students, and teachers acted on the proposal and recommended the name change...

Scrutiny over Franklin High School 'Rebel' mascot prompts petition, new committee

The Rebel has been the mascot at Franklin High School since the 1930s. Now, many are wondering if it's still appropriate. A committee has formed to find out.

I do wonder if they are transplants from the north with no tie to the culture here who let 2000 online people who saw a Facebook ad and clicked 3 buttons in a world of 4 billion pressure them to playing politics during a woke movement FAD that will change history forever. You know the board of education is full of cosmopolitan elite class who don't represent the town right? I mean 70% of the county voted Trump but the powers that be represented us, the people, the interests that they represent by removing our beloved mascot? Why do you get into Harvard for this? Why are administrators the polar opposite of their communities? So I can elect some national socialist board members and start Hitler High?

The people they voted in ultimately are the ones who agreed to and made the change....

Great point sir. I do agree. It's faux representation and my idea is to let the people vote, not a group of cosmopolitan elites who eat cheese cubes and talk about how much they hate white people, the red wave the other day lets me know change is coming by the will of the people federally and my idea is to add it locally. Unfortunately I didn't engage in communism for 16 years at Belmont so I cannot join their board of administrators, I will have to win via democracy. Our vote for administrative boards is commie vs SJW every time because it is impossible to be redpilled and part of that system- our educational systems are corrupted and you cannot think outside the hive to participate.

Ultimately the administrator(s) that Williamson County residents voted is who made the change....

Hence why there are thousands of viral videos of people of all creeds complaining to the school meetings for why their child is given curriculum in 4th grade on how to perform oral sex and the administration is always smuggly quiet knowing there won't be a change

They are also a hivemind under the DoE and cannot vote the people's will without losing their job-- that is why you see trans bathrooms in the Mississippi delta and they voted against the parents desires, the parents then flood the board meetings with no change and they vote them in again. And hey I'm all for it if you live in a community that wants it btw.

Personally, I think as long as any symbols or caricatures related to the Confederacy are gone, the Rebels is a fine name. Maybe be the Franklin Fighting Rebels (similar to UNLV)

There’s too many sissy poons that are offended by anything and everything. If a team named the Rebels offends them….. tough 💩.

An argument can be made they ought to change the name there. I'm sure it comes up from time to time. But part of it is going to be, what is the make up of your student body?

Just looked and Ole Miss is less than 12 percent black. They have changed mascots over the years, however.

FHS is 86%, I'd say 5-7% black
Franklin is 81% although the 19% is lots of Asians, Hispanics, blacks too.
