Oh boo-hoo those meanie old Southerners
Unlike you I live down here and we have plenty of monuments honoring the dead on both sides they make a point of doing that in fact just a few years ago in Franklin Tennessee who was building a new target they found the Ramones of an unidentified soldier when they were doing the site prep And they They had a big deal funeral for him and they honored him with both flags etc. given that it was impossible to ascertain which side you fought for who apparently had both union and confederate buttons on his jacket which was not unusual for either size since they turned it to pick up buttons from the battlefield to replace the ones that broke all the time

But yes I think the Ivy League and most colleges in general or lost they are just bastion of Wokeness that cost too damn much I don’t see the benefit of college these days unless you have a specific plan that requires a degree I would not pay all that money just for a run-of-the-mill liberal arts degree to put on the wall like I have but mine cost about 10% of what they cost today

The 1870s were much more than a "few years ago," but I'm glad the guy's Ramones got a good send off.
