Offensive my rear end. Davis served his country (countries) with honor and distinction.
Stupid jerks.
Respect history.
He was a man that made a tremendous impact on history, believed in foolish things, and can serve as a tool of enlightenment and acknowledgement.
Things not to do.
There are positive things in negative history. So sick of the perpetually offended.
I can't decide whether or not I want to be around to see it.
I'll let God decide.
As if He needs my consent. How arrogant of me.
I wonder what these same students would do if there was a statue of some communist icon who, incidently, would likely be responsible for the death of millions.

Soy Boy.
I’m back doing genealogy and just found a 3X uncle who died of small pox while interred in a Union prison camp in Chicago. I have a bunch of ggg uncles who fought for the confederacy. My great great grandfather started out in an irregular confederate militia, was captured at Shiloh and then paroled on condition that he join the Union Army which he did.
Kick the marshmallow major Obamaholes out.
No questions.
No appeals.
Do it now.
They have no possibility of intellectual achievement.
I suspect some recently-freed slaves pulled this stunt. But can you blame them, after the lives they had to suffer through?
What else can we expect with the thorough brain washing of young students by commie professors?
The Jeff Davis statue must remain, so that students today and students in the future can ponder the legitimacy of the CSA and its a Democratic president.
Similar to islamists bulldozing physical evidence of history.
I ponder the same thing about Lincoln when I see his "Memorial".
LIBs are such intolerant jerks. Just like the Nazis, Islamists, Stalinists and Commies everywhere, they want to rewrite history. What fools. They should be kicked out of the college. Idiots. By the way...have a Great Mothers’ Day.
This does serve as fair warning that such monuments need at least passive protection, in particular, difficult to climb fences. Primarily because vandalism is no longer treated as harshly as it used to be, and there are many people out there willing to vandalize, for any or no reason, as their means of expressing hatefulness at life itself.
Agreed
To be replaced with a statue of Che Guevara, no doubt.
Again, why must everything related to the Civil War be about slavery and the plight of the black man. Jefferson Davis was an honorable man as was Robert E. Lee and other men of the Confederacy.
I am not surprised this happened. I guess when Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson get honored with a statue, they can replace ol’ Jefferson Davis’s with one of theirs.
But let it be known, Al and Jessie didn’t free the slaves, they were already freed. They just reminded them it’s whitie’s fault they are still bonded by the chains of slavery and to break the chains would be actin’ civilized and white.
At least, Jefferson Davis was civilized, a man of intelligence, and a leader who cared deeply about his country. Unlike, some we have known.
