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.”

Removing the statues
Who’ll not change history
This is a shocking lack of respect for the past. How different is this from former Soviet Union officials requiring people to tear out pages of their encyclopedias in order to paste in the ‘new’ version of their past?
The removers are following isis and AL qaeda, they too blow up ,destroy what they don’t like
What the hell is any one doing to stop this garbage from happening? History is fact!!!
then i guess we should take down the statues of g,w. carver and dr king to be fair
It’s the beginning of the end, remove history and change it to fit your own agenda.
This is so redicilous ‘no
If this is true and it happened in Texas, I do believe America is lost.
We can find something we don’t like about everyone in history so let’s just take everything down and all the gripping can stop. NOT. There would just be a new cause on something equally as stupid to march about or complain about. Life happened get over it and get a life of your own.
I’m really sick of this c**p, it all started with Obama
