He is not a teacher but and administrator, an assistant principal. When teachers tell their classes of their view of the systematic and planned conspiracy to favor any thing atletic over any thing academic from the teacher's desk during class time, you have to expect the students to get fired up. For 12 years we parents tell our children to listen to the teacher! But when they only give one side of the matter to the children it sounds like political indoctrination. You know like the communist in Russia and China used to do. Somebody needs to cry foul!!!!

I have asked many Deshler students if they knew who the school is named for...so far not one has known the correct answer. I'm not sure what this means but I suspect it is not positive.
....I learned this as a small child way back when. Why is not being taught now???quote:Originally posted by DHS-86:
Deshler High School was named after General James Deshler; a West Point graduate, Confederate Civil War General and a native son of Tuscumbia. His father started Deshler Female Institute in his memory (Gen. Deshler was killed in battle at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863 and currently rests in Oakwood cemetary in Tuscumbia) and the present high school is also named in his memory.
I am a proud graduate of Deshler High School and I learned this in grammar school in Tuscumbia.

Probably not being taught because any mention of the Confederacy is bound to insult someone.
Was the Female Institute in the same location as the high school? Was that old building on campus part of it?
I love hearing local history like this...
