My small town has a Robert E. Lee Elementary, no rumblings about it so far.

Who else has something the thugs will want to destroy? Have they started bitching yet?

We have a Trump tower. They've been protesting there for the past six months. No rumblings of anything more.

Not a lot of Confederate memorials in Iowa.

I used to live in, and now am down the road from Leesburg, VA

. Its actually not named for Robert E, but is named for his fam. There is a soldier statue on the courthouse grounds that probably will not be removed unless our guv mandates it somehow.

Also, elementary school is Lees Corner. This is in liberal Fairfax co. so it could very well be changed. Demo of the area is majority white so not sure its been noticed yet.

We have a WW2 memorial at the county courthouse but I don't think we have any evil confederate stuff. At least not that I know of.

Every small town in NH has a civil war statue many with a list of those who served or died scribed on it. They are safe although I could see the leftist want to remove any weapons the statue may have on it.

No particular targets, but this is primarily a conservative area and there are lots of people here who fly the Confederate flag. It's all over the place around here, you see it every day on cars and trucks. No one cares. There are a bunch of wineries around here and one is owned by a southerner, he has the flag flying in the middle of his vineyard.

Plenty of dumbass useful idiots and pandering politicos in DFW. They're wanting to remove statues and rename schools in Dallas already.

The left is strong in the major Texas metropolitan areas.

Yeah, until they start tearing down statues of communists, you'll be safe.

We have several statues in our little town and we are not too far from Austin. However, I cant imagine our Sheriffs and Police nor the citizens allowing anything to happen to them.

Interestingly enough, I live in Lee County and there is a statue of Robert E Lee in the town square. The town is about 75-80% black.

Supposedly there are a couple of locals making noise about the statue coming down, but for the most part people in this little town get along. For example, black people don't mind being called "black"

Good people are good people. Shit people are shit people. Color doesn't matter.

I remember working with a crew back in my early 20's, and I was the only white guy. I said something about "African American" and one of the guys looked at me and said "I'm not from Africa, never been to Africa, and don't ever plan on going to Africa. What the hell's wrong with being black?"

I also blurted out the term ____rigging when describing some wiring that was somewhat Rube Goldberg'ish. I turned around and looked him and he smiled and said "well it works, don't it?"

I hope that this little behind-the-times town stays that way.

Probably some potential targets but I haven't picked up on any rumbling yet. Aside from stone mtn but that's not my hometown.

Apparently anyplace named Lee, San Francisco Chinatown is in trouble

Robert E Lee tried to destroy this country to preserve slavery. He doesn't deserve a statue anywhere.

Nothing in the panhandle, and a minimum of batshit crazy liberals who would do anything like that.

Monument avenue in Richmond is lined with statues. I'm sure if the city doesn't take them down the fucking commies will

None of that stuff here. But the biker "clubhouse" across the street from my store has a confederate flag hanging in the window. I'm hoping and praying some gender confused rock lickers try to take it down.

Yup. Maj. Dick Dowling statue in Sabine Pass. Streets in the area named after him. Fort next door is known for him defending it successfully.

The injun caucus wants the city to remove a fountain donated by the daughters of the confederacy. The city council has some real SJW shitbags on it that tried to get rid of it before. They might succeed this time.

Maybe we should gather a list of leftist statues memorials and monuments. Fair is fair.

Our town was named after Thomas Jefferson. Although we have a law office museum founded by Joshua Giddings and Benjamin Wade, two abolitionists. Maybe that will even things out.
