Only in Alabama! "Ala. School Drops Klan Founder's Name":

The city school board has voted to stop using the name of Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan founder Nathan Bedford Forrest as part of a consolidation plan, a move that ends a long-simmering dispute. Students at Forrest Middle School will move into what is Emma Sansom High School - named after a woman who showed Forrest's Confederate forces where to cross a creek as they chased federal troops in the area...

In other news, you can read a list of the roads, schools, community centers, (am I telegraphing this enough?), outhouses, pork rendering plants, mountains, hills, dales, bends-in-the-road, etc. etc. named after Democratic Sen. Robert C. Byrd here.

Previously: West Virginia: "It's not as bad as you feared". I drove the Robert C. Byrd Highway to Elkins, West Virginia. WV wasn't such a bad place, but, bear in mind I wasn't in the heart of Appalachia, just in the central and northern parts of the state.
