Another reminder that naming schools and streets after famous people might not be such a great idea.

Bill Cosby raised literacy rates among millions of children over decades. Why do I say this? Because you can be a horrible piece of shit and at the same time make the world a better place. We should be careful to separate who Chavez was from what he accomplished.
