I feel that the names should only be changed if the Alumni, current students, and faculty can democratically come to that decision. Many schools have a brand identity, so to speak.
I attended Calvin Coolidge High School.....for us, we kinda realize how useless Coolidge was as a President, and how many other people we could be honoring instead....but....that's part of our identity as Alumni, faculty, and current students.
Bottom line, if the affected parties desire the change, then I support it. Otherwise....it's none of my business.
