        It’s not a threat to public safety, I have no stake in the game but to erase American history is sad. My great Grandfather got the Medal of Honor and had a plaza named after him and it’s a matter of time before it’s offensive to someone.

        hey, can you do me a favor and look up the dedication speech for that statue, and when it was commissioned, and then lemme know whether or not you still consider it representative of American history.

        Let’s do this, you sit beside me at the bar and I treat you with the utmost respect and may even have awesome conversation, instead of choosing sides from the past . We had a past it’s what made us better today. Don’t let a political party make you hate for no reason!

        What's the statue gonna do? Come to life and start slaying people? That's the only way a statue can be a threat to public safety. 🤣

        Having recently been to VA and seeing the statues to confederate "heroes ", it caused me distress. And I am a northern white woman. Just odd to celebrate a lost cause and question what it speaks to our Americans i@packed by our past

        Hard to imagine that a university chancellor can be that unaware of the Constitution and the First Amendment but I guess its happening all across America these days.

        The revision of history and the stifling of free speech are the hallmarks of totalitarian ideologies.

        To honor traitors. If you are a true American you would want the statue removed
