If you are worried about this then W&L should not be or have been on your list of schools...

Fortunately for me I have grandparents that go all the way back to the beginning of time.

Or at least I’ve been led to believe.

It’s through the Hardins that I was able to track it back to the Revolutionary war for membership in SAR.

They’re going to focus on Southern heroes though.

We’re the “enemy”.

I don't care as long as its an option and they aren't forcing its removal on all diplomas


It shouldn't even be an option. If you don't want Washington and Lee on your diploma, then don't go to a school named Washington and Lee. Giving in to the whiny little bitches only creates more problems. We wouldn't even be at this point if we collectively told the SJWs to GFY years ago.

It’s a relatively small portion of society, mostly coastal liberals and the media who have convinced others that their’s is a mainstream representation.


And the 2016 election proved otherwise.

They tried an indoctrination coup since the 80's of radical liberals teaching your sons and daughters in H.S. and that didn't work - so now they are trying a literal governmental coup.

They literally want to remake, rebrand and re-invent this country.

They honestly don't even want a country anymore...just a squatters paradise.

There are some common sense folk at the school. I remember an article where the student body complained about the gate being closed at the stalls that adjoin the Presidents house.

It was where Traveller, Lee's horse's home was. The gate was left open because according to legend Traveller's spirit was...well, still travelling.

The president decided to open it, and leave it that way.

I dont think they will win this one.

WTF has happened to our country.


Public school

Welfare and single parent families

Mass immigration from socialist and Islamic countries

The collapse of Protestant and Roman Catholic churches

Our economy shifted from free market capitalism to a monopolistic/oligopolistic model with limited competition and significant government regulation.

Oh and just choosing to not go to the school isn’t enough for the left. Their cultural jihad must exterminate the opposition. That’s how “how does a gay marriage affect yours” was followed by the sucker punch of “wax my balls, bigot”. My sympathies to those of you who fell for it.

This is exactly the problem with the whole lost cause thing. When somebody shits on Lee, you take it as somebody shitting on you because you’ve chosen to identify with Lee in a certain unrealistic context.

None of these people think you’re their enemy or even know who you are.

In a nutshell:

W&L student: I don’t want Lee on my diploma.

Baw: So you’re saying I’m racist if I put Lee on my diploma.

W&L s: Not what I said or even implied, but you sure are a narcissist.

I wouldn’t let an 8-year old child of mine use the tactic you’ve attempted because I think 8 is too old to be acting like that. It’s you, not them.

You leftist freaks are the ones wanting statues removed, names of streets and building changed, portraits removed, etc.

Why don't you get over it?
Sounds exactly like they are over it, hence the want for removal.

I love how it’s only melt to change something from a Confederate symbol/name and not to one.

Lee Circle comes to mind. Vintage 1894 melt. The statue is even of Lee melting.

They want the founders of this country where they live as free people because of the acts of these men to be banned?

I guess they would rather us be under the Queen of England?

Right, but I’ve never been in a position to allow members of this board to get away with raping women if they were black, so I’d say Lee’s presence on campus in Lexington carries far more weight than mine here.

Students at Washington and Lee University want the option of receiving a diploma without the portraits of the university's namesakes: George Washington and Robert E. Lee.


Today, they are asking for an option on the diploma. Tomorrow , they'll want to rename the university. The campaign to "sanitize" has no end.
