Civil War II: California, a Picnic in Georgia, Smith Statue and Dixie Highway in Florida

February 11, 2020

**  Students at Riverside King High School pose with swastika, Confederate flag.  (Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California.  I hate to have this happen.)

**  Lauren County Confederate group responds after Dublin VA stops annual cookout.  (Dublin, Georgia   The local SCV has had a free picnic for veterans at the Veterans Administration there.  Now the VA says they can't do that unless they leave their Confederate symbols at home.)

**  Lake County protesters say they were kicked out of a meeting for holding signs against Confederate statue.  (Florida   The statue of General Kirby Smith which once stood in the U.S. Capitol  Building is to be relocated to the Lake County Historical Museum.  The Kirby statue is to be replaced with one of Mary McLeod Bethune, a Florida civil rights pioneer.  If the Kirby statue is inside, I don't see what the protesters are upset about.)

**  Tensions surface at Franklin County School Board meeting.  (Virginia.  One board member, a black woman, is still upset that the board refused to prohibit Confederate flags on clothing.)

**  'Dixie Highway' may be renamed in Broward County.  Now public can weigh in.  (Florida    Some are calling it a racist name.)
