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

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.

This isn't just happening in the South. Because it was founded in 1949, California State University Long Beach has called itself the 49ers, symbolized by Prospector Pete, a statue of a nineteenth-century gold seeker. However, the students voted to retire the mascot on the grounds that the prospectors who flocked to California in 1849 were genocidal racists. The student government is currently taking suggestions for a new mascot.

“calling for a Confederate soldier monument to be moved from a prominent spot on the Oxford campus to a Confederate cemetery in a secluded area behind a coliseum.”

Give the scumbags a few years and they will begin disinterring the on-campus Confederate Dead and destroying the Confederate cemetery. Afterward, they will be the leaders of the Government that takes land/property from Confederate descendants (i.e. see South Africa). What a Brave New World we have waiting in our future.

23,000+ students at Ole Miss. 47 student politicians vote unanimously. I don’t see that as “Ole Miss students vote unanimously to remove Confederate statue.”

[Verginius Rufus]

What will replace “Rebels”? “Scalawags”?

[FXRP]

At least they didn’t tear it down. They had their elected bodies request that it be moved. Since a large proportion of the student body is black, I’ll cut them some slack. They did it the right way.

Man this thread really brings out the dumbasses on this forum it’s just not worth it

The Confederate Monument belongs to the taxpayers and citizens of Mississippi, not the students of Ole’ Miss. Push comes to shove, the snowflakes need their butts kicked in a court of law. Ole’ Miss’ administration needs to be reminded of who pays their salaries.
