OOPS. That's why I should be banned from typing.

Another guilt-ridden white chick with nothing better to do. "I know! I'll spice up my boring life and make a name for myself causing trouble in a city 250 miles from me!"

By the same logic, Mussolini was "serving his country, as he saw it."

You got a problem with Italians?
I guess you do know the difference between a dictator and a General.

I didn't figure anybody would know who Gen. Robotti was ("I would not be opposed to all (sic) Slovenes being imprisoned and replaced by Italians. In other words, we should take steps to ensure that political and ethnic frontiers coincide").

This whole PC re-naming thing and statue removals make me wanna puke. Sheesh folks, whatever happened to "America, love it or leave it?" Our history (like it or not) is just that... HISTORY.

I'd chip in on a ticket fund for those that are so offended they want to relocate elsewhere.

I'm not buying any ticket. Let them swim. Ha!

With what?

Eh, what's in a name.

I guess Lee Elementary in OKC is next....so much for Lee the Lion. They even have a little history lesson in Robert Edward Lee on their website lol.

Lee was a person that served his country, as he saw it. Not unlike the revolutionary war. I don't give a darn what Lee represents in 2017.

Did he serve this country? What is his connection to Oklahoma? Why should he have a school named after him in Tulsa?

Perhaps we could name the school after a fallen Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine or Coast Guardsman from Oklahoma. Would be much more relevant and less controversial.

Dropping names and moving statues isn't rewriting history, it's just deciding to stop glorifying certain aspects of it.

You're in charge. Do what you want. Better?
