I’m starting to doubt whether the South is really going to do it again.

How many students even bother to vote for the members of the Student Body Senate?

Democrats started the civil war

How did they do that?

Meanwhile, we have sex slaves being trafficked from our Southern Border by the 1000s. Oh well, the white male supremacists of the past deflect attention from the case against open borders.

The Lyceum and all buildings built before January 1, 1863 must be bulldozed because each one was built with slave labor. All trees on campus deemed to be older than 160 years old must be cut down for the same reason.
The Vicksburg National Military Park as well as all other parks that commemorate the Civil War MUST BE CLOSED and the lands sold for reparations!!!!
The word “WHITE” will be no longer used. In it’s place one must use “COLORLESS”.

I doubt any of these kids know how to operate a crane and they can’t lift a sledge hammer so the monument is safe until they can enlist the help of the administration...and they will. Ole Miss is dead.

If I remember correctly, not many. When I was there we thought it was a huge joke.

I don’t see why current students should be the decision makers. They’re temporary.

It should just be explained to them that you shouldn’t try to erase history, it will only provide fertile ground to repeat it. It should stay as a discussion point at least.

Re-education camp has worked.

Now the vanguard of the revolution is free to take on Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, slaveowners all.

The statue is an anachronism. I’ve seen it. Should have been moved after
The war way over a hundred years ago along with the ignorant ‘yankee’ hatred that remains.

It can be moved to a cemetery. The timing is bad with all of the America hating going on.

“How hard pressed is British media for news if they’re writing about a student government’s meaningless vote about a statue?”

The Daily Mail was almost the de facto newspaper where Freepers get their news ranging back to 2003 The Iraq war invasion. I still remember it. The MSM wre doing their best to get their Vietnam and the British newspaper like the Telegraph were the ones doing their jobs reporting...not lying to the readers, hoping they get a lot of dead soldiers to blame Dubya.

As I remember all those student government positions were occupied by budding student professional politician wannabes! When election time would roll around, they would all be in front of the student union practicing false concern, slimy false sincerity and dead fish handshakes. Your best friend of the moment!

Hey man I think I see myself back in the background using my flag-stick to mix my drink. Isn't that why they were handed out in the first place? I can assure you that no one in that picture was even remotely thinking about race or racism. Most of the guys were wondering if they were going to get laid that night and the girls were making sure that none of their sorority sisters saw them drunk and smoking.

It's not even the students. The Left figured out a long time ago that nobody cares about things, like Student government. That's what they've exploited over the years, and why they've gotten a death grip on Academia. It's the same in government in well. Sure, people turn out for Presidential Elections, but who runs and/or votes for the local school board, or local government?
