Spot on @dennishoddy , Lexington KY is 13% black/81% white and the mayor wants to remove Confederate statues. Why? Has the city voted for that? NO, this is clearly just another example of Guilt or empathy or better yet, political BS IOT draw either more minorities to the City, or to show corporate America that Lexington is a modern, diverse city to expand to. WTF, seriously?

My response:
I do not agree with changing school names as a political knee jerk reaction to what is happening in Eastern states by liberal, alt left radicals. Only one political party has advocated this response, and its not representative of the citizens of Oklahoma.

The United States has a history of honoring significant notable people that have had a part of making America what it is today.

The History of this great country is what it is. There was a war of states rights with slavery on both sides of the North and South that is not taught in our schools today. Revisionist history is that the South had slaves, and the North was there to free them. That is so totally wrong, and in your position as an educator, you should know that and require teachers to teach the correct history.

If the voting age constituents in the school district wish to change the name of the school, then that is the method of change, not an arbitrary change by leftist school board members. We have a representative government. Let it work.

Now Im hearing that Trump is trying to get information about ppl who visited a protest website and on the flip side, Im hearing that conservative sites are having their instagram and paypal accounts shut down. Its time the ADULTS from both sides made the others go sit in their respective corners for a LONG while.

Paypal has been anti gun rights for a long time.

You'll have to be more specific. Where is this specific right to vote stated, and how was it overridden?

Is it only local taxes that go to paying those schools or is it state taxes as well?

It's hurt recruiting for sports, for .

BWAAAAAA! The SE Conference is the toughest in the country and the darling of ESPN.
Try that tears in your beer again. It didn't hurt a dammed thing.
Manufacturing is going rampant in the SE.
Manufacturers Choosing the Southeast?
Manufacturing companies include an intangible trait -- trust---as part of the site selection consideration.
Adrienne Selko | Oct 01, 2015

U.S. plant last month in Mobile, Ala. calling it the company’s flagship site in the U.S.

Why Alabama? “It gives them a larger industrial presence, which could be useful in pursuing defense contracts,” explains Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group Corp. “It puts pressure on trade unions back in Europe, because labor in Alabama costs less. And it diversifies their currency exposure, which could be useful if the euro gets strong again.”

The manufacturing base of this region was created in large part by the auto industry. In fact Atlanta has been dubbed “Stuttgart West” thanks to its position as the U.S. headquarters of German companies. Home to the newly revamped Porsche Cars North America headquarters — complete with a test track near the airport — it also lured the Mercedes-Benz USA head office away from another location. And BMW’s largest production plant in the world is in South Carolina.

Other auto manufacturers are represented as well. Kia Motors has a large Georgia production facility and Honda and Hyundai both have major operations in Alabama.

It’s not just the automotive industry that is attracted to the Southeast. Lenovo, the world’s leading PC vendor, opened its first U.S. manufacturing plant in North Carolina last year. Starbucks even roasts its coffee beans in South Carolina. And Google recently-announced plans to invest $600 million into a new data center in Alabama.

To find out why this area is attracting so many manufacturing companies, IndustryWeek talked to William “Lee” Thuston, a 30-year veteran in Southeastern economic development and managing partner of Burr & Forman (Birmingham, Ala.). He has assisted economic development projects representing an estimated $17 billion of capital investment and over 26,000 new jobs. Thuston was involved in the site selection process for Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc. Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC, KIA Motors Corp. Mi-Tech Steel, Inc, IPSCO Steel and ThyssenKrupp.

You tell me why only liberal, progressives, and leftist are the only ones wanting these statues and memorials destroyed, and I'll answer your question.

I believe i saw where facebook was shutting down accounts for alt-right members, as well.

Since falsebook is a liberal ran organization with nazi like skills of banning people with political views not like theirs how could you even consider them in this conversation?
