In Council Bluffs Community School District there are 15 schools. Those schools are named after explorers, Founding Fathers, presidents, A poet, Inventors, and former principal for the district. Thomas Jefferson High School was founded in 1922. After 100 years, people are questioning the wisdom of sending students of varied cultures to a school named after a slave owner. My belief is that Council Bluffs should have a school named after Thomas Jefferson. He believed in education, independence, and was a founding father. The first reason saying why Thomas Jefferson should have his name named after a school is because he deserved it he was a hard worker.

He introduced a Virginia statute outlawing the importing of African slaves in 1778. He recommended a prohibition on slavery in the newly acquired Northwest Territory, which the British had given up in 1783. He suggested a strategy for gradual emancipation in Notes on the State of Virginia, which was published in 1785. However, he remained mute in public after 1785 while maintaining his belief in the unfairness of slavery.¨ In the evidence shows his suggestion of trying to find the best strategy and solution which is a good president knowing he cares. I think he gets appreciation but he deserves a whole lot more for the way he has impacted everyone's
