United Daughters of the Confederacy requested custody of Silent Sam

2. HEAR! HEAR! Surely, the Board of Governors has some ACTUAL UNIVERSITY BUSINESS they could be doing

In lieu of this nonsense. I'm thinking drop it off the coast and let the barnacles have it. A seaside habitat or melt it into actual nails we can use to nail down the lid on the NCGA GOP Coffin they no doubt can see on their horizon.

Redding,* whose group recently protested in front of the UDC headquarters in Raleigh, said the option of returning the statue should at least have been discussed in the months of public comment by various UNC boards and administrators.

“The United Daughters of the Confederacy rarely inserts itself into public discourse,” Redding said in a statement. “So it comes as no surprise that they requested its return through an email rather than a public statement. The University of North Carolina should take this request seriously, as it is only proper that a monument to white supremacy be returned to the white supremacist organization whose name is on its plaque.”
