On April 28th, Dallas-Ft. Worth's WFAD ran a story about two University of North Texas students who have a petition out calling for the removal of the Confederate statue by the county courthouse. Besides the fact it is a Confederate soldier, they object to the fact that there are two drinking fountains, once for blacks and whites.
Said student Aron Duhon, "A Confederate soldier who took up arms in defense of a regime based on slavery is the farthest thing from a hero possible." The statue has the word "HERO" etched into its base.
This is the third attack on the statue.
One person commented that Confederates were terrorists and "nothing more than a standing ovation to the use of violence against innocents."

One person has an anti-petition up and running at www.texasconfederateveterans.com/keepsouthernhistory.
