The War That Still Rages

[Jobu88]

The article about German schools still named after Nazis resonates with me - I live in Arlington, Virginia, and you can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting a school, major road, or shopping center named for some Confederate leader or general. Jefferson Davis Hiway, also known as Route 1, is one of the major North-South traffic arteries between Arlington and Alexandria. No one bats an eye about it that I can tell -- I never hear about protests or attempts to get the names changed. But it has always seemed a bit odd.
