TX Man Behind Lee Statue Restraining Order Signed Complaint Without Reading It

[struggle4progress]

4. (1) He did not file the motion "on behalf of a federal judge" -- he was asked by a neo-confederate

to sign as plaintiff on a complaint actually written by a white supremacist

(2) Texas is certainly part of "the real South" -- slave-owners migrated there to create a new slave state by wrenching the land from the control of Mexico. Jim Crow laws, enacted by the state after the Civil War, include:

(a) a 1943 requirement for segregated seating on buses;
(b) a 1950 requirement for segregated facilities in state parks;
(c) a 1951 prohibition of interracial marriage; and
(d) a 1958 law allowing the governor to close schools integrated by federal action

Here's a flier for Ku Klux Klan Day at the 1923 Texas State Fair in Dallas:

(3) Robert E Lee has only a limited connection to Texas and no connection to Dallas that I can see. The park existed from 1909 as "Oak Lawn Park", before the 1936 dedication of the Lee statue, when the park was renamed "Lee Park." Why then is "Lee Park" more historical than "Oak Lawn Park"?
