Reading this Statesman article I found I had a question: Why, if soldiers who fought for the Confederacy are not considered U.S. veterans, should the Veteran's Administration provide headstones for them? A… Plus military headstone is one of the benefits provided anyone who has served in the U.S. military, but why does the VA pay for Confederate headstones? Let the SCV do that, it would give them something constructive to do.

He would simply vote as his southern friends did, he said, because they were leaders and he trusted them to have done the work he hadn’t. In any case, it didn’t matter much what anyone said, according to Hammond, because the Constitution had limited the government so it could do nothing but protect property. Even if an overwhelming majority of Americans wanted the government to do something more… Plus

We are faced with the odd prospect of a president fighting desperately to keep a job he evidently doesn’t want. Trump has continued to insist he did not lose the 2020 election, and yet seems to have given up on governing. He has not taken any questions from reporters since Election Day and has spe...

Two years ago, in November 2018, the Denton community failed the family of Lermont Stowers-Jones.
Together, we all watched as the nonsensical details of his horrific story unfolded in the local press, and… Plus we knew then that something wasn’t right. Yet, we failed to speak out and put a spotlight on a racially motivated murder covered up before our very eyes.
Today, the Jones family still seeks justice via their independent investigation, and they are more determined than ever, as we can prove two things:
1. Mont was murdered
2. Local Authorities covered up
It’s not too late for you to help.

I get the newsletter of the Abbeville Institute, the academic wing of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. This was this week's entry.
Can you imagine having so deep a hatred of liberty that you're spitting this… Plus angrily over John Brown (whose soul goes marching on)? Their articles are always wrong, but my gods, they're not usually unhinged. This is what we're up against: people who, in 2020, still think that slavery should never have ended.
It is at least kind of him to wrap antifa in with John Brown. Illustrious company!

I think this is an important point to consider, even if on the surface it seems more than obvious. This article illustrates the teaching value of monuments: What we honor with Confederate statues tells a story… Plus the mainstream culture "learns," and what we *don't* honor with statues or memorials, can represent repressed history we really *must* learn.
Also, this teacher's experience with laying out the history of violence against Blacks in the U.S. illustrates another point we all know but tend to side-step or minimize, sometimes for fear of eliciting accusations of white fragility: to look the truth of white brutality to racial minorities squarely in the face, everyone involved is… Plus
