Students at a Georgia high school are leading a campaign to remove a Confederate general name's from their school. Jake McGhee, a senior there, told CBS News this week that the Wheeler name is a "slap in the face to the students of color at our school." "It's something that [Cobb County School Board] won't even recognize or talk about anymore," McGee said. Despite that show of support, the Republican-majority school board voted last month to disband a name-change committee that was approved over the summer to explore options. A school board meeting will be held Thursday, where again members of the community will voice their position and likely challenge the board's November decision.
