In this case, you have to look beyond the obvious reaction.
The statue is not being mothballed or melted down. It is being moved to a more appropriate area of campus. Jefferson Davis has no ties to the University of Texas, nor Austin, and the presence in a prominent position has always raised eyebrows.
Yes, the move now is being made largely by liberals and confederate flag banners but the statue’s presence did not have any significance to state, city, or university history and, as time marches on, needed to be relocated so that room can be made for new honorees.
I’m very conservative but I have no objection to what is going on here.
Your full of shit. Moving this statue is a slap in the face to all true Southerners.
