Description:
In recent years, there has been significant debate and controversy surrounding the use of Confederate names and symbols in public spaces, particularly in schools. Some argue that these names and symbols represent a painful legacy of racism and oppression, while others view them as a part of Southern heritage and history. <br/><br/>In this context, the decision of a Virginia school board to restore Confederate names likely reflects a broader societal tension between historical preservation and the desire for social justice and inclusivity. Supporters of restoring these names may argue that they are preserving tradition and honoring the historical figures associated with them. They might also emphasize the importance of recognizing all aspects of history, even those that are uncomfortable or controversial.<br/><br/>On the other hand, opponents of restoring Confederate names may argue that these figures represent a dark chapter in American history characterized by slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. They might contend that by perpetuating these names, institutions are perpetuating harmful narratives and failing to create inclusive environments for all students.<br/><br/>Overall, decisions regarding Confederate names in public spaces are complex and often contentious, reflecting broader debates about how societies reckon with their past and work towards a more equitable future.

In case you missed the biggest night in fashion, we’ve got you covered. From best looks at the Met Gala, to behind the scenes action on the red carpet, to performances we go through it all. Jennie & Rosé had a reunion in New York, and fans couldn’t have been more excited to see the two together. Stray Kids made history as the first full K-pop group to attend the gala, but everything wasn’t rosy in the “Garden of Time” due to the group facing rude and racist commentary from the paparazzi. BTS’ RM may not have been at the Met, but he did share posters teasing his new song “Come back to me” coming out this Friday. We give you a sneak peek of our interview with ATEEZ at the Grammy Museum. Charli XCX confirms whether or not she was working on songs for Britney Spears, Ava Max stopped by the studio to chat about why her new song, “My Oh My,” is the introduction to her new era and more!")
