So, I get that then argument against Washington is that he was a man who kept slaves during a time when half of the US had already begun its abolishment, and most of Europe had banned the importation of slaves and was moving towards total abolishment. In his case, he could have done the moral thing. He simply chose not to because he wanted to maintain the wealth that owning slaves brought him. One could certainly say that he does not represent current social mores, or even past ones. However argument against Lincoln is that he signed various acts like the Pacific Railway Act of 1862 which took land away from the tribes that previously held it. Obviously the tribes which are now mere protectorates of the US would rather be independent nations... but unlike with slavery, this course of history isn’t one that people generally support reversing. We could generally give back land to the Native American nations. They continue to exist in the present day. However if we won’t do that, then changing a name of a school is just paying lip service to their views. If what Lincoln did is an injustice then it is one that is ongoing and perpetrated by the existing US Government, and all the politicians we elect.
