W&L On Trajectory To "Sever Ties" To Lee

Then all they'll need to do is remove his body and pretend that Lee Chapel isn't Lee Chapel.

But is that really enough? They really ought to raze it.

Hell, why not the whole place? It all reeks of the evil, evil South.

And why are we being coy about Washington? Everybody knows he's next. Just like everybody knows that James Madison's name will get the boot from JMU...then there's George Mason at GMU...then there's GWU... Mr. Jefferson's soon to be purged from UVa, of course... Monticello should get the torch, I'd think, by the principles now being applied.

And we haven't even begun to talk about purging every reference to everything and everyone associated with harm to American Indians...

Then we'll need to address anything that might involve an insufficiently critical reference to the role of women before about 1970...

Every shred of a reference to our imperfect, unprogressive past must go.

Year Zero, here we come.
