Someone once said that eventually Confederate descendents will become like the early Christians and forced to honor their ancestors in secret in catacombs. This unjust decision by Hopkins unfortunately moves that day a little closer

There’s a monument to Sidney Lanier , poet of the Confederacy and Confederate prisoner at Pont Lookout , on the Hopkins campus..

I wonder if in accordance with Mr. Whelan’s suggestion and Hopkins’ anti Confederate policy, President Brody will get out the Hopkins forklift brigade and remove it. Perhaps he could get some help from the English Department.

When one group is denied freedom, we are all denied. Les Kinsolving made a great point on his show last night – we had better ban the American flag from the Hopkins campus while we are at it. One of the stars is for Mississippi which includes the Confederate flag in its design. Another for Florida which features the St. Andrews Cross. Perhaps even ban the Episcopal Church – they use the St. Andrews Cross in their signage.

I am very proud of my ancestor who fought for the Confederate States of America and very proud to be a member of a heritage organization such as the Sons of Confederate Veterans that honors the Confederate Soldiers who fouhgt and died in the War Between the States. Itis American history and heritage that needs to be honored . It is just not right that the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy should be denied rental space because they are confederate heritage organizations. If that is not discrimination than I don’t what is

@ “Wise” – The secession was not an act of treason, but something that was–and remains–possible under the US Constitution. President Lincoln’s decision to go to war with the Confederacy is what should be called into question.

But while we are about revising history, let’s get rid of the monument to Richard Wagner, whose music was revered by Adolf Hitler. And we ought to tear down that monument to Billie Holiday, who after all was nothing but a drug addict and a slut. Right?

The two biggest hotbeds of socialism in this area are JHU and the city of Columbia. To hell with them both!
