    the PC bureaucrats considered insensitive.

        I think the Native Hawaiians have a statue of Captain Cook in a stew pot.

          Cville has a special breed of leftist cooking up over there,

          horse and wine country surround it,
          UVA is a melting pot,

          lots and lots of diversity, youth, and batxxxxcrazy left leaning professors,

          and surprisingly enough, a Smallbore team, and some professors that are decent folk, and have some serious gun collections,

          the city pulls hard left in elections, the surrounding counties, generally hard right,,


          this court ruling will likely mean some heads will explode, and hopefully no stupidity like in the past few years

            Since certain minorities have protested Civil War statues because of the slavery issue; I wonder why statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, among others haven't been protested.

                In New Orleans, they protested the statue of Joan of Arc, apparently under the impression she served in the Confederate Army.

                  Off the top they did not take up arms against the United States of America in an attempt to preserve the institution of slavery. Jefferson of course came out against it later in life. It was the world they were born into and in which they had to live. Both acquitted themselves well overall in the choices they made.
