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.”

Democrats are behind all this even getting rid of confederate flag
Stupid people do stupid things–read the History books
Mark Maxey, Jefferson Davis was never a traitor. I am a Northerner from NY by birth and know that historically Jefferson Davis and all Confederate States ceded from the USA mainly for oppressive states rights, financial and commerce reasons. Freedom from slavery came as a result of the war. There is talk of secession even today to get out from under the rule of the current administration. Does that make today’s secessionist traitors? Wanting to reverse everything that Obama has done to this country and it’s people make them traitors? The answer would ne NO. Can what this administrations activities and un-Cons$#%&!@*utional “accomplishments” to this date make them traitors? That is a strong possibility. If the American people in a handful of states chose to cede from the Union and form another country because they do not believe the USA, under the leadership of Obama and his cronies. Would they be traitors OR patriors?
Shame!!!
Obama is doing the same as what ISIS is doing over in Middle East by removing history to where it will not be recognized.If you voted for CHANGE well you got it.
Asinine history still happened we all know . And are way more apt to tell it louder to the next generation.
Folks, this is the Islumic movement, to distort all that is Christian or American. Arrest the fool and put them in PRISON for 1yr. And let them think about what they have done. Oh! With out early discharge.
enuff of this b/s
PATHETIC
