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

[clu]

5. all fair points

my apologizes I only watched local news coverage in passing before going to sleep earlier today for my night shift.

re-christening the park in 1936 seems to precede some of these statues erected after the enactment of the civil rights act (IIRC). I still believe that such monuments can serve to promote positive discussion with the rank and file whites who are susceptible to racist fake news. it's no fault of their own - 100iq is the average and we're stuck with it. we may not convince any hardcore RW that we engage in discussion but instead we have a real shot at influencing the opinion of any bystanders to the conversation.

edit: as reprehensible as the laws cited in your reply (my parents remember a local rec center pool being designated as white only), IMO - which is subject to change - slave states with firmly established plantations had more invested in the civil war than texas did. the laws you mention were unfortunately part and parcel of the time. again - all worth discussion.
