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

How can an object be racist
The history of our country being destroyed before our very eyes .
you can not erase history ….period it happened we that know it need to keep remembering it and p$#%&!@*ing it on…these people live in a non-realistic world
Taking down monuments won’t change or history OR or future
I agree. It’s history and they need to go as well.
well then all things must be taken down the billboards on the hiway are a start, Coke adverti$#%&!@*t offends me, the local ford dealership billboard offends me, demoralizing of the people of these United States this offends me, all of us are here for a reason our ancestors fought for or worked for. We the people are not against each other. Racism and prejudice comes from our media sources telling us we are that, the news glorifies the worst news made up or not. Gvt pushes enequality though saying they are not. And if we do not comply it offends another group so we need to fix that. IF those fixes fixed things why are tensions between groups of people worsening. We are turning into a nation of savages ready to kill another for whatever reason. We are greed stricken coveting slothness glutness country and we seem to be striving to be the best at that. We are suppose to have a freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to pursue happiness. We should be a God fearing nation, whether we are Jewish, Catholics, Muslim, Buddist or Christian. Instead of tearing each other down, we should be working together to make this place better for the generations to come. History is History we can not change, whether good or bad. All we can do is strive for a better future.
