Facing third-and-14 after that, Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson chased Wilson from behind then knocked the ball loose before it rolled out of bounds.Three plays, 2 yards lost and both edges of the Broncos’ offensive front exposed.The pass protection issues that plagued Denver in a los...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:17:57 GMT

Fairfax County Public Schools is scheduled to vote Thursday night on whether to move forward with a plan to rename W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia.The school is named after Wilbert Tucker Woodson, the second-longest serving superintendent in the school system, the county said. He worked in the county from 1929 until 1961. However, he opposed desegregation as evidenced by remarks in historical documents, prompting community members to encourage Virginia’s largest school system to rename the high school.In a letter to a school board member in 1959, W.T. Woodson said the “order to desegregate schools is highly improper and infringes on human rights.” FFXNow first reported the details of the letter. Last month, seven school board members sponsored a request to begin the process of changing the name, and to consider naming the school after Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who worked to inform the public about the role of African Americans in U.S. history. At a publi...
