When I edited this article to add paragraphs, they obviously didn’t take. Sorry ‘bout that!

Celebrating diversity. I guess a statue of a pimp and two “hos” would be acceptable.

You know what’s really funny about this is that they don’t exactly honor the sacrifice of the Union soldiers who freed the slaves now, do they? I’m just sick of this whole country which is not going to recover.

You know, I’m getting really good and sick of this. It’s HISTORY!!!!! It had an affect ON the entire Country.

Not one slave was brought to American under the Stars and Bars they all came under the Stars and Stripes. The men and women who died for the Confederacy, died for their beliefs just like any Union Soldier did. Their sacrifice and committment should be HONORED!

Now, before someone chews me out, I AM a loyal American, my family has shed blood for this Country in EVERY War, Police Action, or ‘skirmish’ they have ever had.

I say (and MEAN) the pledge, but I am beyond tired of people screaming about getting rid of the Souths history, when we’re celebrating Norways! (I’m sure some state out there is).

sorry for a semi rant, I’m just tired of the stupidity.

I’d heard from a San Antonio Texan that Dallas/Fort Worth and their suburbs were being taken over by liberals. This is just another verification of that.

I just love all the meddling by naive, oh so earnest, snot nosed, self righteous, self appointed do gooders to “fix” everything in our society and country of which they know nothing.

Go back to your basket weaving classes Aron and leave history alone.

If they are so incensed by such Confederate statues, they are going to be busy beavers indeed. A large number of county courthouse grounds in Texas county seats have them. That's Denton county, but I know Collin, Grayson, Bell, and Burnett. I'm sure many others as well also have such statues

The soldiers face Northeast, the direction the Yankees came from, and might come from again.

Confederate Monument Denton, Texas: End Racism & Violent Military History In One Click

To all Detonites

A terrorist is defined as a person who uses violence against civilians to gain political ends. Keeping people enslaved is obviously one of the most vile forms of violence. On the Denton, Texas Square is therefore a monument to terrorists. The statue of the confederate solider on the square in Denton, Texas is nothing more than a standing ovation to the use of violence against innocents, and other oppressed minorities for economic and sociopolitical gain.

Hey, here is simple solution. Just put up a series of statues showing the Rev Wright dancing like the Grambling Band!

I think that this is a foolish and ignorant act on the part of these students. History is what it is. You can't change it, you must live with it. I live in New Orleans. Although we have a majority black population and a black city government, I can't imagine what would happen in such a petition was circulated here. The two monuments shown below are just two of many to be found in the city.

This one is just down the way from my family's tomb in Greenwood Cemetery. It was dedicated in April of 1874 and as well as depicting a statue of a confederate soldier, it features the busts of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sydney Johnson, and Leonidas Polk.

There is also the 60ft marble column on which stands the figure of Robert E. Lee in Lee Circle near downtown New Orleans. It was dedicated in 1890. So far it hasn't been changed to "Spike" Lee Circle. Ha!

Something tells me his petition isn’t going to get that far.

IMO, There couldn’t be a better tribute to the whole slavery/civil rights issue than the existence of two formally separate drinking fountains, open to all for the past 40+ years, flanking a Civil War monument.

This is just another small slice of the total anti-war, peacenik, hate-America, anti-military movement in this country.

The moonbats would destroy every single military monument in every state if they could, no matter if the statuary was Confederate, WWI, Spanish-American or whatever.

They're just concentrating now on Confederate memorials which are more vulnerable to attack since they've attached "racism" to the monuments and dumb people fall for this line.

"That's just like having, I guess, like a slave owner with a whip," agreed Leah Herford.

You guess wrong, Leah.

I suppose a level of thought nuanced enough to distinguish between the manipulators and the manipulated is beyond the "education" level of too many college "students" today.
