Nathan Bedford Forrest High School is the name of two high schools in the United States. Due to the controversy of naming a school for Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, many schools formerly named after him have adopted new names. The controversy regarding use of the name Nathan Bedford Forrest reached its peak in 1998 where Richard Donaldson and Harry Zeigler were taken to court for openly protesting the use of his name and sued the school district for one hundred thousand dollars. The case was dismissed by the judge and no further proceedings on this matter have arisen.
