The Middleton family on Thursday released a statement to The Advocate.
"General Troy Middleton was an American hero and Louisiana icon. We expressly and unequivocally denounce the university's dishonorable plan to remove his name and memorials from the very library the funds for which he led the university's effort to obtain from the state legislature," the statement reads.
"We encourage the public to reach out personally to each member of the Board of Supervisors, and to the Governor's office, to express their outrage at this proposed defenestration. We further encourage the Board of Supervisors to take this opportunity to make a principled stand against erasure of this great state's history."

Has anyone informed them that they are, in fact, racists?

I do find it ironic that these "progressives" want to change the name of the building on campus that's in the worst condition. The condition of the library truly represents the quality of their beliefs.

Middleton Family is about to have their banks refuse to do business with them after the mob goes after them for daring to speak out

The Middleton library will be torn down within a few years anyways.

Nah. Money always trumps make-believe butt hurtedness.

Why Middleton? He's a WW2 soldier that fought in Bastogne.

That dude even chased Poncho Villa on the border. He had an incredible military career.

And that, as we all know, brought us the time honored treasure, "Poncho and Lefty".
Bend the knee to TVZ and Willie!

Anybody else reconsidering whether you want your kids to go to LSU? The whole "get rid of FKA and things will be put right" theory doesn't seem to be working so well.

He hasn’t officially been replaced yet right?
Also shite like this is going down at basically every campus in the nation

I know I am. Lighting up Tiger Stadium to honor a man that never set foot on the campus much less did anything for LSU did it for me.
