Seems more a question of when not if the moniker "Rebels" will be replaced.

“All 47 members of the Associated Student Body Senate voted,,,”

Fake headline.

Indoctrinated fools.

When they finally get what they want, they’re going to be surprised.

I grew up just a few miles from there.

Times sure have changed since the 50’s and 60’s...................

Children vote to hide from history. I'm not surprised. The young rarely enjoy history lessons. As humans we seem to be programmed that way. We all relish a clean slate to make our mark upon. But it's a shame. When we ignore history, we doom ourselves to repeat it. And for that reason, allowing students a vote to wipe-out history memorabilia is a terrible idea.

At least some got to vote on it the measure, the statue wasn’s ripped down by a mob, and it’s going to be moved, not destroyed.

The University of Mississippi was founded in 1844 for and by slave owners, segregationists and white bigots.

The wisest course of action here would be to burn the entire thing down. Nuke it from orbit, as it were.

Because racism.

Democrats started the civil war, democrats passed Jim Crow laws...50 years later democrats put up statues of civil war soldiers throughout the south, democrats opposed the civil rights act, now democrats want to erase that history, and act like it never happened.

Virtue signaling?

Wanting to show they are liberal and politically correct?

We all know what the politically correct view of various issues will be. On this one, the PC view is to tear down statues.

In the social/political environment today, could it be that they were afraid of being called racist and bigots if they wanted to keep the statue? The path of least resistance is to agree with the PC view and vote to remove the statue.

47-0 sounds like a vote from the old Soviet Union.

The students will regret moving the statue when they see a 20-foot-high Trump statue take its place.

student government groups are calling for

But the adults at the university are saying Sit down, shut up and do your homework - right? Right?

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

Unanimous shows how unrepresentative they are of the student body as a whole too.

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

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.
