DDs school have announced the new houses children will be split into, all of them are historical British male explorers, including Drake who as a slave trader is inappropriate in my opinion.
Would I be unreasonable to complain and suggest some female representation?

Is there a reason they're all explorers? Do they all have to be seafarers?

Is this a primary or secondary?

I think some girls at the school should takle it.

How about Jeanne Baret (no doubt some dickhead will claim she was a transman)

Jeez. I was teaching in a school 17 years ago and we brought in new house names, ensuring they were 50-50 male and female.
