    They should not be allowed entrance without signing a confirmation note supporting the traditions and historical preservation of the university and its iconography. Its a damn shame. Bring Stonewall back where he belongs. If you don't like it go to a different school.

    My grandfather Manley Olin Simpson Jr. graduated early from VMI , was shot in Okinawa doing reconnaissance as a captain serving four years in the Pacific. I went to VMI. Class of 87. My grandfather's grandfather fought with Stonewall for 4 years. His name was George Nelson. That's on my dad's side and on my mom's side my grandfather's grandfather was a physician with Stonewall. His name was Dr. Manley Littleton Garrison.
    And this kid thinks he's had it hard because someone called him the n-word a few times what the f*** what a victim poor guy

      Even more baffling is why we actually listen to this small but vocal group of narcissists. This would end immediately if normies just told them to go home and die angry.

    In 1855 slaves and free black men, women, and children first made their way to the Lexington Presbyterian Church to attend Sunday school. Thomas J. Jackson, a professor at VMI, was leader of the Sunday school. Although illegal under Virginia law to teach blacks to read and write, Jackson believed all, regardless of race, should have the opportunity to receive an education and hear the Word of God.

      @@ciaspecialactivitiesdivisi5867 because Jackson died before Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the KKK. Also Forrest never meant for the KKK to be a racist organization. He originally founded it on religious grounds, but once the organization began shifting to racism, he tried to DISBAND it, but he was ultimately cast out by the members and it became what it is today

      @@ciaspecialactivitiesdivisi5867 Jackson was killed shortly after his flanking maneuver at the Battle of Chancellorsville (April-May 1863), shot by one of his own picket lines while returning from behind enemy lines which he got lost in. Forrest founded the KKK in 1867, two years after Lee surrendered at Appomattox and 4 years after Jackson was dead. Kinda hard to disavow an organization when you’ve been in a casket underground for 4 years.

    I don't know. I was part of the "Old Corps". I had upper classmen both attack and protect me. But, I could always hold my own and it didn't bother me. Just am glad I was there before 1997 (it was by FAR tougher than when my cousin went to VMI). VMI was worse than USMC OCS/TBS. lol No joke! Nothing compares to going to an RDC "meeting" and straight to a "sweat party". LOL

    As a son of Virginia growing up the school was my and all my friends idol. As a grown m an now going on 68 I am ashamed of VMI and there removal of our hero. I believe the cadets interred at your doors should be sent back to a New Market battlefield cemetery where they can get some respect. Shame on you for turning your back on history.

    As they take down Stonewall, a statue of Jonathan Daniels should go up- He was VMI's valedictorian in 1961, went on to Harvard Divinity School, and was involved in the Civil Rights movement in Alabama when he took a shotgun blast from a Klansman as he tried to shield an African-American teenager.

      Stonewall was loyal to his state. If Virginia had remained in the Union he would’ve fought for the Union. The vast majority of Confederate generals either were indifferent to slavery or opposed it. They did see the African race as inferior though. But I mean cmon what did you expect? 200 years from now future generations will judge us for things we see as normal such as eating animals. Are you an evil person for eating meat? You decide.
