By tomorrow black IQ will increase 15 points, their crime rate will drop 50 percent, and their illegitimacy rate will drop 50 points. It’s them damn Confederate statues that have been holding them back all these years.

I called a VMI graduate friend of mine. He lamented the decision. I asked him to name a couple of people to erect statues of to “replace” LTG Thomas Jackson. He recommended 3 VMI graduates:

LTG John A. Lejeune, USMC, Graduate and VMI Commandant during the Depression, who kept the school open during those lean years.

General Leonard T. Gerow, US Army

General Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr., USMC

The American Taliban win, again, as they plow through every institution that does not bend to their will. Truly pathetic display of cowardice by VMI.

This erasing of visible history is vile. If people think they are going to stop at just removing Southern history...then I have a bridge to sell you.

"...The interim superintendent, retired Army Maj. Gen. Cedric T. Wins, is the first African American to assume the position..."

Oh, goody goody. Just another Leftist turd of a different color is all.

While at VMI he studied Algebra, English, History, Drawing and Latin; he was left tackle on the “scrub” football team, a group which scrimmaged several times a week against the varsity team; a classmate described him as “quiet, straight as a string, courteous, well-mannered, more serious minded than lightsome in conversation.”

This blows me away.

He IS VMI.

Every one of the top military colleges have their heroes. We had ID White and Truman Ransom. They had Jackson.

The old timers must be furious about this.
