A celebration of Lee-Jackson Day cannot continue in the campus chapel that honors its namesake Confederate general, Washington and Lee University has decided — citing rancor that still lingers from the Civil War. For more than a decade, Lee Chapel has been the site of a ceremony held by the Stonewall Brigade of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a group that gathers in Lexington every January for the state holiday that commemorates Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.
But in a decision announced this week, W&L denied a request by the confederate veterans group to rent the university-owned chapel for next year’s Lee-Jackson Day.

I bet they'll rent it to the NAACP...

I think they should get some muslims to book it for them, I bet they would bend over backwards to let muslims use it.
More politically correct cowardice.
The Progressive-Taliban purge of Southern history and culture continues...
They respected each other and had the same idea of honor. The teacher said that it began the healing that brought peace and saved lives.
Our ancestors would be shocked at our behavior today - no Christian forgiveness.
Seriously,this is getting ridiculous...
How many of us know Blacks who are VERY proud members of the Sons of the Confederacy???
I’ve met several while living in Alabama and North Carolina.
From what I was told, the Sons of the Confederacy basically maintains Civil War/ War of Northern Aggression etc graveyards and discuss Battles of the War Between the States.
There is NOTHING racist about the group.
Good lord
Insanity
They gonna dig Lee up?
Is little sorrel taxidermy still in the basement museum at VMI?
I bet they’ll rent it to the Black Panthers, La Raza or Nation of Islam......................
This will not stop at the purging of Southern history. Before Obama leaves office, I predict the only history being taught in any of our schools will be all the evil the USA has wrought on the entire world. Our poor children/ grandchildren/great grandchildren.
..........or LGBTQXREGHI whatever.....................
Yep——it is to destroy Unity (Christianity).
All Marxism is about creating hate between groups and to eliminate Love/Forgiveness-—a purely Christian Worldview. They need children to “see” others as objects-—as Means to an End-—so they can do dehumanizing things to others-—like the “Good Germans” after their Prussian school indoctrination into atheism/evolution for a century. Their Marxist worldview is one devoid of Love and Forgiveness and is demonic and celebrate debauchery——like mutilation/Jennar and sodomizing others-—Afghani harem boy ethics. When children are raised in cultures which glorify vice and dehumanization——it becomes “normal”.
The destruction of Traditions and History-—to deform and twist it to make it meaningless to children-—so they have no concept of anything (no Wisdom)-—so that they remain so ignorant and irrational that they will believe all the lies (like snow is black/Fichte 1810) and become literal slaves for the state-—like that obamaphone “lady”.
What’s needed is a campaign to encourage alumni and local businesses to freeze donations to the college. That will get the President and Board’s attention so fast, you wouldn’t believe it. In a New York minute, you might say.
M4L Marxism
Oh for Cripe’s sake. It’s a lineage-based membership service organization, just like the DAR and SAR.
Who’s the one being intolerant?

Probably not for much longer. It will be labeled a racist symbol and have to be removed.
