Quote
A private school has pledged to remove the names of Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake from its buildings in an “inclusivity” drive.
Parents at Exeter School in Devon were told that the Elizabethan naval heroes no longer “represent the values and inclusive nature” of the school.
...
Raleigh was a colonialist who failed to establish a British settlement in North Carolina because of hostile relations with Native Americans.
...
Drake took part in voyages with his cousin, Sir John Hawkins, which saw the capture of black African slaves.
