About the Forrest Removal, Birmingham's Law-Breaking Mayor, the NFL's Jaguars and Washington and Lee University and the Problem With College Professors

JUNE 4, 2021

**  Man who waved Confederate  flag at removal of KKK founder's remains under investigation.   (Memphis, Tennessee.  Newsweek magazine.  Looks like Newsweek would know that Confederate is a proper name.  Of course, no mention was made of Memphis' highly questionable action to get rid of the monument in the first place.  Plus, the SCV is paying for the removal and that should have been paid for by those who want it gone.)

**  'It was the best decision':  Mayor Woodfin reflects on decision to remove confederate (Confederate) monument one year later.  Birmingham, Alabama.  Looks like WBRC 6  would know that Confederate is a proper name and should be capitalized.  The mayor said the people were demonstrating and trying to pull the statue down, when they were actually rioting.)

**  Jaguars  to buy uniforms for four schools  getting rid of confederate (Confederate) names.  (Jacksonville, Florida, Jaguars NFL team.  Looks like they would know that Confederate is a proper name and needs to be capitalized.)

**  Fort Smith sued for flag removal; new state monuments law cited.  (Arkansas)

JUNE 5, 2021

**  NC appeals court halts removal of Confederate monument.  (Sad Asheville.  The Vance monument.)

**  Washington and Lee University to keep Confederate name.  (Virginia.  But they will change names on campus.  Faculty members voted last July to change the name.  Having college professors do any kind of judgement on the Confederacy is always bad.  Let's just say they are more than a little bit prejudiced.)

I Don't Think Democrats Like Confederates. Let Those Who Want Confederate Statues Gone Pay For Removal.

JULY 17, 2020


**  Democrats target Confederate  monuments in spending bill.   (House Democrats are attempting to get rid of Confederate monuments and memorials from National Park Service land.  Would this apply to these on NPS battlefields?  We've certainly come a long way from when the South was solid Democrat, sometimes referred to as "Yellow Dog Democrats."   Republicans were the "enemy" back then.  Remember the part of Lincoln and Reconstruction?)

**  Our view:  Confederate monument should not be a symbol of Gaston County.  (Gaston Gazette Editorial.  North Carolina.  Has this monument been desecrated by BLM yet?)

**  Fund grows to help pay for Confederate statues' removal.  (Sad Richmond, Va.  Estimates to remove the statues on Monument Avenue are estimated o exceed $1.8 million and a group is trying to raise the money privately so as not to hurt city coffers.  So far, they've raised about $25,000.  Long way to go but I agree with costs being paid privately even if this is the mayor's football.  You don't like it?  Put your money where your mouth is.)

**  What the Redskins name and Confederate statues have in common.  (Interesting article from Politico.)

And, Democrats Used to Be the Party of the South.   Not No More.  TheyDon't Love Us No More.  --Old Secesh
