** The Army could have renamed Fort Bragg after Union General Edward Bragg. (North Carolina. I already have said this. Union General Bragg commanded the famed Irom Brigade. This would have been of considerable savings.)

** Confederate flag controversy spurs changes to Return Day Parade. (Delaware)
** Democrats protest against Confederate flag during Return Day parade. (Delaware. Imagine Democrats protesting agains Confederate flags?)
** Tense night as Montgomery board renames Lee, Jeff Davis high schools. (Alabama. Again, if the majority of the students are Blacks in these schools I completely back renaming the schools. Both are renamed for Blacks. Why does all renaming have to be for black people? Are Blacks the only ones who deserve schools to be renamed for?)

** Confederate monument in front of Mercer Law vandalized. (Macon, Georgia. That's not vandalism. It is a pure and simple case of HATE CRIME!!)
** Potsdam Central student disciplined for bringing Confederate flag to school. (New York. As long as students will also get in trouble for BLM items.)

** 82 schools have removed their racist namesakes since 2020. Dozens now honor people of color. (Sounds like a SPLC list to me. At least none to my knowledge have been renamed to honor George Floyd, a man with no honor. Also, can you get in trouble for referring to people of color?)

** 'We're moving into a new era': People pleased about buiding new statue to honor John Lewis. (Decatur, Georgia. I'm all for it, but disappointed that the Confederate statue was removed.)

** Protecting Confederate monuments: How statues across the state of North Carolina remain standing. (There are 173 Confederate symbols across the state as well as 42 monuments in front of courthouses.)
** Confederate camp raises new flag amid calls for flag along I-85 to come down. (South Carolina. The camp is the Adam Washington Ballenger Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. They raised a version of the S.C. state flag.)
** Alabama's Confederate mansions get state funding, distort our history.
** A Jewish perspective on Arlington's Confederate memorial.

** Southern attitudes toward Confederate monuments and reforming public spaces. (Findings from a national survey. Interesting numbers. Of interest, every state in the South and even across the nation has 50% and more wanting them left in place or have context added to them.)
Of course, it is my belief that the absolute best way to determine how people stand on statue removal would be to put it to a vote. I'd go along with the will of the majority of the people and also am fairly sure that, unless the people in a voting district are primarily Blacks, the vote will be to keep the statues. Look what has happened in Virginia when it has been put to a vote. Virginians have come a long way in my mind as to redeeming themselves, other than Sad R..
** Confederate battle flag replaced with a state flag on I-85. (South Carolina)
** High court tosses Sons group's monument removal suits but reverses third case. (Georgia. Sons of Confederate Veterans)
