Students at Jahangirnagar University in Bangladesh are upset because the school took the name of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall away.
They want it back!
They gave a note to the school's boss, asking for the name to be put back.
At another school, a statue was taken down, and students there are also upset.
