BREAKING: The Univ. of North Carolina issued a massive $2.5M payout to the Sons of Confederate Veterans to help them preserve ‘Silent Sam’— a Confederate statue removed from campus.
This is support for white supremacy and we’re fighting back! @LawyersCommhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2019/12/11/nc-attorney-general-lashes-out-plan-pay-upkeep-silent-sam-statue/ …

The Sons of Confederate Veterans extols the virtues of the Confederacy. Its mission is to instill "devotion to and reverence for the principles represented by the Confederate States of America.” Those principles include white supremacy. Why on earth is UNC supporting this?!

Silent Sam — a racially polarizing statue of a confederate soldier holding a rifle, had stood on UNC’s campus from 1913 to 2018. After Charlottesville, protesters felt urgency and pulled it down. UNC held on to the statue at an undisclosed location.https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/08/21/protesters-tear-down-confederate-statue-unc-chapel-hill …

SCV wanted possession of Silent Sam but had no ownership interest in it and no valid legal claims. Despite this, the Confederate group filed a sham lawsuit against UNC, seeking possession and 125K in damages. 7 minutes later, UNC was ready to settle. https://www.northcarolina.edu/news/2019/11/unc-system-reaches-settlement-allowing-disposition-silent-sam …

UNC & Sons of Confederate Veterans were working together. The sham litigation and pre-signed consent decree provided cover for UNC’s transfer of the
#SilentSam statue and its $2.5M payout. Students and faculty were left in the dark. Completely outrageous.https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article238287498.html …1 odpowiedź 86 podanych dalej 170 polubionychPokaż ten wątek

UNC’s 2.5M payout to the Sons of Confederate Veterans is diversion of money that should go to student education, not to a group that supports white supremacy.
Foundations may be pulling grant money. The students are the one losing out. #SilentShamhttps://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1204924977511841793 …

You still haven’t corrected your tweets saying UNC is the entity making this payment. It is the Board of Governors of the entire UNC system.
