I’m not for re-writing history, but why was the street named after him after the disgraceful exit?
“regents forced him out in 1923 because of his Klan involvement.”

Interesting that they identify the guy as a Klansman and a University Professor (shocking!) but don't provide any details into his political orientation.
I'm pretty sure The Klan was a DemonicRAT stronghold in the 1920s.

Can West Virginia do that too? I would love to see Exalted Cyclops Byrd's name erased from everything. And he marked his territory on more things than a waterlogged dog.

Wonder if they are going to have to rename the hundreds of buildings, bridges and streets in West Virginia named after Robert Byrd, then?

There is the modern-era Klansmen like Senator Byrd with the face having to be exposed with the top cover. The law has required the facial exposure for some time. The older Klansmen were just the modern version of the Spanish Inquisition—the real ones not the fake ones.

Is West Virginia going to un-name everything named after Robert Byrd?

Maybe someone can start by removing Robert Byrd’s name from government buildings, shouldn’t be more that a few thousand of them.

...and here I thought that some OK Dems had named the street after Grand Dragon Robert Byrd, late of the U.S. Senate, who was idolized by Hillary Clinton.
My bad.
