Down in Montgomery, Alabama here, there is Lee High School. Robert E. Lee High School that is. Wonder when the hammer falls down there?

Houston’s Robert E. Lee High School was eliminated several years back. Not just renamed, but torn down.

Any time now. These people are so ignorant. Robert E. Lee was actually almost the commander of the Union forces, but he decided to stick with his state. After the war, he spent a huge amount of his time and whatever fortune remained to him in trying to preach reconciliation and improve the lot of black people, particularly with regards to education, to prepare them to enter into American life as full participants. Many blacks in the slave states had literally received no education at all and it was forbidden to teach them or even teach them religion and baptize them.

Certainly he wasn’t perfect but who is/was? It’s so sad and terrifying to see this riot of ignorance sweeping the land.

The statue of General Lee was pulled down the other night in Montgomery. They will rename the schools shortly, Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis and that famous Confederate warrior,Sidney Lanier.

My high school is named W.B. Travis.... I wonder how long it will last. Liberals need to go.
