** Council to decide fate of c(C)onfederate monuments in vote Tuesday night. (Jacksonville, Florida. I imagine this will result in the monuments being removed since Black and white wokers have been in such an uproar about them. Maybe now they can start concentrating on the crime and murders in their city. Makes you wonder where their priorities are.)
** Council votes down resolution to remove Confederate monuments. (Jacksonville, Florida. Well, that was a fast decision after the prior listing above. One of the statues is of Confederate women. Sounds a bit sexist to me.)
** Resolution to fund Confederate statue removal in Jacksonville fails. (The vote was 13-6 against it. Cost expected to be $1.3 million. The bill sponsor says he has private donors signed up to remove them. I would support removal as long as those who want them removed pay for it themselves. And, that amount has to cover reinstallation.)
** VMI students, alumni push back against Confederate memorials. (Virginia Military Institute. SPLC release. I wonder what race the alumni and students were? What about students and alumni who wanted the statues to remain?)
