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.”

This country has gone crazy. Nothing but$#%&!@*holes. This is part of our history
That’s OK… Trump will put them back up.
Disgraceful
If it wasn’t for Jefferson Davis and the Mississippi Rifles saving the day at the Battle of Buena Vista Texas porobably wouldn’t exist in the form it does today..
Put them back
This offends me. It’s shameful.
Who allowed this to be done????
Moving the statues will not change history. Out history is ours, the good and the bad. Every nation has had problems for centuries. Learning is what makes the world go around. We are suppose to learn from it. This country is doing the opposite, we are running from it. The schools don’t even teach it anymore.
This is US History!
Pathetic.
