Um you do realize why the statue is there in the first place right?lil_frog8 said:
Not sure why it's taken so long for people to realize that statues of men that took up arms against the United States of America because they disagreed with the financial policy of the country shouldn't still be around. Why not erect a statue of Timothy McVeigh if we're all for memorializing history of rebellion?

There is a map of all confederate statues done by the southern poverty law center. https://www.splcenter.org/20190201/whose-heritage-public-symbols-confederacy#findings
College station is not listed, meaning the statue is not considered a confederate statue. I think there are other things to look at if we are discussing tearing it down besides just his affiliation with the confederacy.

It was Ross that encouraged the enrollment of females which led to the allowance of female faculty family members attending (the twin sisters in the class of 1903).

At that point I will be on the wrong side of history and expect my thoughts that are viewed as wrong and blasphemous be condemned and removed from history. I would hope my family apologize for my views as at the time I meant no ill will but do not want to glorify what is now viewed as wrong. Pretty much the same approach anyone of Nazi descent takes.
