Five Schools in Missouri: Three Named for Union leaders at the Battle of Wilson's Creek; Two for Confederate Comanders. What to Do?

JULY 2, 2020


**  Republic schools named for Confederate generals  may get renamed.  (Springfield, Mo.    Five schools were named after leaders on both sides at the Battle of Wilson's Creek.  Two named after Confederate leaders at the battle.  Three after Union commanders.  Obviously the Confederate ones need to be renamed.  Well, we had the movie "Three Signs Outside Ebbing, Missouri" now we have the "Five Schools in Republic, Missouri.")

There is also a push to remove a statue of a Confederate general at the nearby Springfield National cemetery.

**  Richmond mayor says he wants city-owned confederate monuments removed immediately.  (Patience, man.  Patience.  I knew he and the governor would be chomping at the bit to take them down.)

**  As more fairs ban rebel flag, what will the Lorain County Fair Board do?  (Ohio)
