Equine Insanity

I've always liked to read about both sides of the Civil War, since it's part of our history. The Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War was one of the finest historical programs I've ever seen.

But thanks to political correctness, the names of Southerners who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War are being erased, and their monuments removed.

Over at Hot Air, I saw this link to a Virginia website called Bacon's Rebellion.  This post describes the latest ridiculous example of an erasure of American history, which shows the depths to which PC has sunk.  This is happening on the campus of Washington and Lee University (probably soon to be renamed Washington and ___). 

Not content to remove every mention of Robert E.Lee, the college president is now trying to erase Lee's famous horse, Traveller. His horse! How a horse can possibly offend anyone, I don't know, except that he was Lee's horse, and I guess that's offensive enough for some people. Maybe Richard Adams' novel "Traveller" will be banned from the campus bookstore next.

You have to read this for yourself to believe it.
