Did he serve this country? What is his connection to Oklahoma? Why should he have a school named after him in Tulsa?

Perhaps we could name the school after a fallen Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine or Coast Guardsman from Oklahoma. Would be much more relevant and less controversial.

Dropping names and moving statues isn't rewriting history, it's just deciding to stop glorifying certain aspects of it.

The five civilized tribes and most everybody else living in Okla. supported the confederacy during the civil war.

So you think that Oklahoma was part of the United States when they were president.

Being a university town, actually. A bit silly if you ask me but the name was deliberate.

I need to back off and offer apologies to Donner.
I may have stepped to far outside the base lines.
