[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] On the name issue, I think it speaks for itself that you insist on continuing to refer to the name of a segregationist. My college alma mater is named after a confederate and I would very happy if the name changed.[/quote] If the name bothered you so much why did you attend?[/quote] That is a fair question. While I had qualms about it at the time (for example I never wore a tee shirt we given with a picture of that confederate on it) I do not think I appreciated at the time the scope of the problem of the lost cause myth that was perpetuated through the honoring confederate throughout the south (and thus chose to attend because it is strong academically etc.). My perspective has changed over the past few years just like changing perspectives led to the name change of the public high school here in Alexandria. [/quote] Washington & Lee?[/quote] Yes[/quote]
