The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 134: UNLV President Says Keep "Rebel" Name

Frpm the December 2, 2915, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**Ordinance to remove four Confederate monuments introduced at City Council.  (New Orleans) (Loss)  I'm sure it will pass.  Wants to declare the monuments a "nuisance."  These "nuisances" have sure been around for a long time.

**Confederate Flag Controversy at Greenfield.  (Massachusetts) (Loss)  About the police sergeant who has a Confederate Flag on the wall of his home.  What a person puts up in their home or on it should not come under attack.

**UNLV president says keep the Rebel name, no Confederate roots.  (Univ. of Nevada Las Vegas)  (Win, sort of)  That is the school's nickname and they have a mascot called "Hey Reb."  The president says the name reflects the school's entrepreneurial spirit.
