Lee, the Face of the "Lost Cause", Let the People Vote to Decide, A Beach Towel Makes the News

JULY 31, 2020


**  Confederate monuments:  Robert E. Lee, the general who became the face of 'Lost Cause' mythology.  (Hey, they lost fighting for the cause of having a new country, so, that was the "Lost Cause."  Since so may died on both sides, I wouldn't call it exactly mythology.)

**  Floyd County Confederate monument  referendum issue remains undecided.  (Virginia.  Trying to decide if removal put to a vote of the people.  This is the correct way of determining whether or not a statue stays.  Something that's not sad coming out of Virginia.  Wow!!)

**  Unsettling report of a Confederate flag towel at Lighthouse Beach.  (Evanston, Illinois.  Now they're going after beach towels.  What about the people on the beach wearing the equally offensive symbols of hate and racism of the BLM?  The woman who made a big deal about this left work on purpose to start a confrontation.)

**  As the South's Confederate monuments come down, where will they end up?   (Good question.)

**  VMI to alter longstanding  traditions tied to its Confederate history, but leave statues in place.

**  Protest s renew calls  to remove Confederate monuments  at Texas Capitol grounds.  (Democrats want them gone.)

**  Not every fight over Confederate monuments end with a statue coming down.
