APRIL 15, 2023

**  Collier teacher under investigation for showing 'Confederate History Month' video to school.  (Naples, Florida.  It is so sad when you can't teach history without being the official "woke" agenda.  A whole lot of articles about this.  Confederate Heritage Month is still a Florida holiday.)

**  It's a cemetery for crying out loud.  (Bacon's Rebellion.  About efforts to tear down the Confederate monument in Arlington National Cemetery where 400 Confederates are buried.)

*****************************

APRIL 17, 2023

Founding Fathers Zero, WWMs One

**  JANUARY 4, 2023

**  Virginia school board votes to rename  high school named after Founding Father who owned slaves. (Sad R., Virginia.  George Wythe High School.  Renamed it for Katherine Johnson of NASA, a black woman.  Why is it that everything renamed has to be of a black person.  Don't get me wrong, she is very deserving of all honors, but COME ON!!  Will Wythe County and Wytheville in Virginia now have to be renamed?)

I must admit that I had never heard of George Wythe (but have gotten cheap gas in Wytheville, Virginia often).  Go to Wikipedia and read about him.  A remarkable man even if he did have slaves.

**  Our views:  Louisiana separates itself further from its Confederate past.  (The Advocate)
