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.”

Isis is doing the same thing, knocking over history, erasing the past.
this ia very wrong , we cant change history , by trying to remove it , wake up sheep they are leading you to the slaughter !
Donkeys take all historical monuments down. MLK should disappear from the Mall. Oh wait a minute, WW2 was bad so let’s take all WE2 monuments down. Oh wait a minute, we should not have been in Nam according to Hanoi Jane so let’s take all references of Nam down. Oh wait a minute, let’s get rid of Gettysburg. Oh another one–let’s go away with all monuments and refs yo black war heroes. Let’s take all references to the lunch counter event away. What else? Well, because we committed genocide against the Indians–I guess we have to give the country back to them and dismantle EVERYTHING and leave. Oh well no problem.
It will not change anything either.

As they say, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”, so where’s the movement to remove ALL the statues of “black” notables from campuses and public displays…especially inclusive of the MLK statue??? “THEY” want equality, then that should be across the board and NOT onre-sided!!!! – Vietnam Combat Veteran 7/66-11/71
