Angelica Hendricks, one of the seven members of The Committee (the group's self-designation), said, “During orientation we had to go inside Lee Chapel and sign an honor contract to uphold our honor according to the honor of Robert E. Lee,” she said. Signing that contract in the shadow of a slave owner, and beneath plaques honoring Confederate soldiers and battle flags bowing to a movement to keep black people enslaved is hurtful."

They are too brainwashed to see things any other way or to ponder issues in a critical manner for themselves.

I may be wrong, but aren't there other law schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia for these offended students to go to?
If it truly offended them, why apply and accept admission to a school named after Robert E. Lee?

I once visited the George Washington Carver museum and was deeply offended as I am allergic to peanuts. Peanuts are truly hurtful and I hope they close the place down.

This is just stupid.

Why would someone offended by Robert E. Lee attend that university?

Private college. She can frick herself.

I'm going to bet she's on some sort of scholarship, not paying her own way.

At first glance I thought that said the Hodor Code...
I've been spending too much time on the M/TV Board.

Seriously, do some people not have anything better to do than look for ways to be offended?

Its horrible that someone forced them to go to that school.

Because it is easier to complain there then if they had attended Spike Lee U!

Go somewhere else then!

Me too.
The best leadership book I have ever read is "Robert E. Lee on Leadership: Executive Lessons in Character, Courage and Vision." by HW Crocker. If I were dictator, every man would be required to read it.

Kind of reminds me of the group that had Holder as one of its voices back when he was a part of a student revolt while in his undergrad years.
Never studied much on the Civil War in her high school years it wasn't a movement at all in action.
