If the concern is that there is too many white men who have schools/roads/things named after them, I agree.  There are many Canadians who were Indigenous, female, black, Asian, LGBTQ, etc., or some combination of these traits, who are overlooked and could be used going forward.  Do we really need a 76th elementary school named Mr. MacDonald?  

If the concern is that we are not properly teaching our country's history, showing only parts we like without teaching the parts we should be ashamed of, I agree.  We should not be teaching that Mr. MacDonald did no evil or held no ignorant beliefs during his life.

If the concern is that children feel unsafe going to a school (as reported elsewhere) because the person they named it after did evil things but died 140 years ago?  Bu&%$t!!  Kids are not afraid of things until they are told to be afraid. And if they are afraid, how dare we teach them to stand up to such ignorance by going to school despite MacDonald's view that they were less than?
