Sherman deserves a statue at LSU


there was a small faction that merely suggested that the new CEBA building be named for Sherman when it was under construction, because no one had come up with a name for it, there was immediate public outrage that the suggestion was even made, not just no but hell no!!

Dude....I urge you to visit the base of eastern elevation of the Campanile and you'll see how obtuse you are being.

One simply has to walk southeast about 100 paces to the edge of the sidewalk, step behind the first bench, push back the branches of the azaleas, and brush away the excess mulch and you'll see a plaque with William Sherman's name on it.

It's a fitting recognition of William Sherman.

The Manships actually donated money to the school. Kirk notably detested colleges. Try again.

I like Kirk as much as the next guy but why a statue at LSU?

He didn't detest colleges. He detested the environment created on many college campuses that undermined free speech and independent thought.

Oddly enough, LSU is better than most in that respect.

True.

Not a fan of them or Jeff Landry though.

Why though?

Charlie was not born nor raised in Louisiana. He did not attend LSU, let alone graduate from the school. He's not some major donor for the school. In fact, he hated college and called it a scam. No matter how much you loved and respected the man, there would be absolutely zero reason whatsoever for LSU, or any other college to put a statue of him on campus.

You realize you are talking about Jeff Landry right? This might not be possible.

This dude is such a fricking tool.

And I say that as someone who voted for him. Of all the problems we have, he thinks this is a valuable use of his time.

Yeah, I voted for him because there was no one else worth a shite to vote for, but if anyone worth a frick were to run against him he would not have a chance.

Landry does these things because it's red meat to conservative boomers.

It's kind of a distraction from his trial lawyer loyalties and his bad economic policies.

That's ridiculous.
We don't live in a far right socialist state...at least as of now.

Can confirm this is true and they are not happy about the fact that the state can’t guarantee it will happen in the next year or 2.
