There is a military housing at Fort Campbell Ky named "Lee Village" and a street named Lee Road. Should the names be changed?

After all, ESPN fired the announcer because his name was Robert Lee?

Liberals keep reminding me that Robert Byrd renounced his participation in the KKK. I doubt it, but even if he did - why does he get to get cleared and not a conservative?

Yea, I know - stupid question. Because they are conservatives! They can’t change! They are forever racists just because they were born white! /SARC

The names of the Housing area and the road have nothing to do Robert E. Lee, but are named after Major General William C. Lee, the father of the US Army Airborne

Commanding General 101st Airborne Division
1942-1944

They should number the streets. Much easier to find your way around - like Miami.

Visited the Lee Museum in Dunn, NC a couple of years ago.

Nice place.

Martin Luther King Jr. had the same opinion on same gender sexual activity that Jerry Falwell, Anita Bryant and Martin Luther(the man that he and his father were named after) did. For the PC/SJW crowd that is what can honestly be called an inconvenient truth.
