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?
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.
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?
Washington and Lee should be forced to change its name. If that is how the feel then they disgrace the memory of both Gen. Washington and Gen. Lee.
I was doing some family research recently and found a newspaper clipping about a distant cousin. She was a native of Kansas whose father fought for the Union. Her family moved around a lot, eventually winding up in Virginia, and she married a Virginian whose grandfather wore the grey. The clipping was about the Lee-Jackson Day celebration in 1937. Cousin Marguerite contributed by playing the piano in a quartet. The hall was decorated with Confederate flags and bunting. A hearty meal was served. A professor gave a talk about the causes of the war. It sounded like a pretty nice occasion of local people (including my “Yankee” cousin) commemorating their common history and heritage.
A couple of years back, the then President of William & Mary got himself in hot water by ordering the removal of crucifixes from Wren Chapel.
Board fired his sorry butt in fairly short order after a huge outcry from alumni, accompanied by threats of no more financial support for the college.
These things often have ways of working themselves out.

Excuse me, what? Who do they think they’re named after?
Next up, removal of the American flag, which many liberals consider racist and a symbol of colonialism, too.
