re: Survey to keep Colonel Reb

Ole Miss has removed Col Reb., From Dixie With Love where students yelled the South Will Rise Again, and Confederate flags from football games. How was it that ANY of those traditions were helpful to Ole Miss? Please explain. I just dont get it.

From what I know there was support for removing some of those things. I'm talking about at this juncture where you're trying to remove things that don't have anything to do with racism. It's a slippery slope. I can see where some Ole Miss fans would be concerned that it's turning into an assault on everything associated with the past. Where does the line get drawn? As some have said in this thread, people wanted to go as far as removing the confederate cemetery on campus. I'd say that's a pretty strong extreme and if that's not safe what is?

Some of you are arguing a point that you arent even taking into consideration. You are saying that we shouldnt change things because some feelings are hurt. Well why shouldnt we change things because YOUR feelings are hurt??? It goes both ways.

Because you have to draw the line somewhere. At what point does it become overzealous? Personally, I think you've reached that point and it needs to stop.
