Lee Students Protest Outside of Renaming Committee Meeting

The renaming committee met at Lee High School for another round of discussions on the name change of the school and were met by students protesting.

According to NewsWest 9, students were lined up all over Lee High School to voice their opinion of the name change.

"Most of the commonality on all the signs was hear us, hear us, hear our voices, and then you have the save Lee, save Rebels, Rebel football, LHS. I just feel like these kids, we're growing them to be adults. They should have a right to be heard. Most of these guys are gonna be participating in the next election next year so it’s important that they be able to express that freedom," said Carie McNeil, a former Lee parent.

The students plan to hold more demonstrations in the future.
