Caving in to outcries that they represent the South’s racist past, Greg Fenves, the president of the University of Texas in Austin, announced on Thursday that the statue of Jefferson Davis will be removed from the campus’s Main Mall and moved to the school’s Dolph Briscoe Center for American History.
The statue of Woodrow Wilson was moved as well to “maintain symmetry on the mall.”

You realize that makes zero sense right?
Oh for crying out loud! They are a part of American history. These people need to respect American history.
This is the stuoidest thing I have ever seen!
this is more BS. If American history offends you, why are you here? Oh, that’s right, freedom. Leave OUR HISTORY ALONE. I promise, I won’t go to your home country and INSIST that they do this stupid sh*t.
Only to an idiot.
GOV gone wild!
Removing statues won’t change history, it will only encourage ignorance.
wilson WAS a racist! he HATED black people. he was the one of the worst presidents ever! allowed social security funds to be put into the general fund.. so they could start spending our retirement
guess know one remembers the blacks had white slaves before whites had black slaves, just saying. we need to remove black history also. while were at it the Germans never killed the Jews.what else can we hide.
