But if we're changing names, then we'd change that one too.[/quote] Except that one is a private institution, that was given the name in the 1870's to recognize Robert E. Lee's role as president of the college. The other is a government institution, was named in the 1950's to recognize Lee's role in a the war, and send a clear message to those who were trying to integrate the school. Private institutions can do as they choose. Government institutions should not celebrate or honor people who fought to destroy this country and continue the institution of slavery.[/quote]
