A board of education in
Princeton is discussing a new name for a middle school after it was discovered the person the school
was named after owned
slaves.
John Witherspoon Middle
School is now temporarily named Princeton Unified Middle School.
It's been recommended the new
name be non-person specific.
Students, as well as the public, have been taking part in polls. The public was part the conversation at Tuesday night’s public meeting.
The board plans to vote on a
new name June 15.
