Today's Social Dilemma, the Madison School Board is considering renaming James Madison Memorial High School. A former student says because the schools namesake and former president was a slave owner, the school should be renamed after Vel Phillips, the first state- wide elected official. This one is personal for me, I graduated from JMM in 1979, While I have great respect for Vel Phillips, I think James Madison did far more good than bad. Our city was named after the president after all.
