School board votes to change the name of Linwood-Monroe Arts Plus. Drops Monroe.

KSTP: School board votes to change the name of St. Paul school.
At its Tuesday night meeting, the St. Paul School Board voted to change the name of Linwood-Monroe Arts Plus.

The change came after a community group raised concerns with the legacy of the school's namesake, President James Monroe.

The fifth U.S. President, Monroe, as with other earlier leaders in the county, was known for owning slaves.
No alternative or substitute Monroe at all.
