Talk:Alexander City Schools

Merge
Proposing merge with Alexander City, Alabama. This content would be serve as an education subsection of the locality page. There is no demonstrated notability WP:N to merit an independent page. - Lucas20 (talk) 06:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There is now more detailed content here than it would make sense to put in the locality page. Schools districts are notable by default. We already don't have a separate page for Benjamin Russell High School, despite the fact that high schools are notable by default. The band alone is probably notable. -- Alarics (talk) 10:48, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Use of insensitive racial slurs.
This article makes frequent use of an offensive racial word, "Negro". This should be replaced by the term "African", "African American" or perhaps "Black".

It is understood that racial segregation and integration issues have affected school districts and it is not historically inaccurate to refer to these issues, but this should be done in a way that is respectful to anyone who reads the article. Source material may have made use of this term due to the era in which it was published, but this does not justify the continued use of terms that are commonly known to be offensive.

Thank you.

 * All uses of the word are clearly cited to a 1972 government document. Fashions in language may change, but I do not think Wikipedia should be in the business of rewriting history. -- Alarics (talk) 07:47, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
