book burning is on the way.

As someone to went to Duke, this is so sad.
What's sad is worshipping these monuments to evil - to wit: slavery, lynching, and the rape of black women by their owners at will!

As a "Dukie" I would think you would get that?

Good. Losers shouldn't get statues, especially anti-American losers. Maybe replace it with a Lincoln or Grant statue. We still have our history then.

Just swap it out for a statue of Krzyzewski. Problem solved.

I can see if you are a duke alumni then you would have an opinion. All others are meddling in local politics which is an egregious overreach.

Yeah but you don't get to honor defeated captains and generals either. His side lost. He doesn't deserve a statue, move on.

So I guess they should bring down all those Napoleon statues in Europe as well. Don't forget to bring down the statues of Kaiser Wilhelm II while you're at it

The lefties are in full rage mode

Lefties don't want democracy. They want their way, or no way at all. Basically, they want mob rule and anarchy. Which explains all the recent acts of vandalism on US monuments, statues, etc. Lefties have lost their minds, and now they think they own the whole USA. They do not. Democracy still stands, and if they continue running amok, they will eventually run head first into a brick wall called law and order. This is a civilized society, and if they cannot behave in a civilized manner, authority will rain down on them like a hammer.
