Three schools in Dallas, Texas, will likely have their names changed later this month because of their connections to the Confederacy.

Dallas Independent School District (DISD) officials are proposing to rename John Ireland Elementary, Sidney Lanier Expressive Arts Vanguard, and John H. Reagan Elementary, in which all namesakes had served the Confederate cause during the Civil War.
