** Dear John,
------------------------------------------------------------
This week, the Southern Poverty Law Center released new data ([link removed]) updating the number of public schools named in honor of Confederate leaders. Over 300 schools are currently listed in SPLC’s Whose Heritage? report ([link removed]) , which tracks symbols of the Confederacy across the United States.

The new data and the entire Whose Heritage? report can help teach the history behind these public fixtures—and how they spread throughout the South and beyond. We echo SPLC’s call to rename these schools, and we hope you’ll read more ([link removed]) about how this information provides educators an opportunity to teach this topic.

Thanks for all you do for students.
