Words and cheering the prospectus are encouraging and well served but this institution will need severe and harsh pressure from a financial threat in order to reverse the Presidents decision. Withholding donations and convincing supporters far and wide will aide in this venture.

This will effect tourism in Lexington, that is why most history buffs visit. I for one will not return nor will my like minded friends. What’s next ???? If there is a boycott, I will be among them ! RETURN THE HERITAGE AND THE HONOR !

Outstanding response. It is comforting to know members (or at least supporters) of the W&L community are in agreement with the response to these irrational and immature law students. It seems to me they are only interested in making a name for themselves to hopefully attain gainful employment after law school. If they were truly interested in social justice they would demand that the name of the school be changed, have the VIneyard Vines ties removed from the gift shop as they bear a likeness of Lee in uniform and have the uniform chisled off the Recumbant Lee statue.

God bless you Bob !!! My people were all from Lexington and other areas of the Shenendoah Valley. The greatest honor I have had was not only placing a lemon at Stonewall’s grave , but paying my respects to Gen Lee and his family. If it were not for the history and heritage of Lexington, who would visit ? There’s always Williamsburg……… for now !!!

“It takes men of worth to recognize worth in men.” (Thomas Carlyle, from his “Latter-Day Pamphlets.”)
Well written reply to those of the “Committee,” who have evidently first gotten their education and seek a diploma with General Lees name on it before becoming outraged. They remind me of the man who would buy a house at the end of an airport runway, and then sue the airport for all of the airplanes flying over his head.

Carl, why don’t you ask the author the questions of your loaded “Challenge”?
