The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 226: A Stand-off in Charlottesville, Virginia

From the March 22, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  Mississippi educators plan to talk about controversial Confederate Heritage Month.  Teachers are not required to include anything about it in their lesson plans.  The way I look at it, if you can have a Black history Month, you can also have a Confederate Heritage Month.

**  Tensions rise as push to pull statues makes its case.  (Charlottesville, Virginia)  (Loss)  Involves statues of Lee and Jackson which blacks and their supporters want removed.  The blacks were having a rally and rudely interrupted by pro-Confederate demonstrators.  Even upset, the other side should have a chance to voice their opinions.

**  Dallas students who voted to drop Confederate general's name from school have selected a new one.  (Texas)  (Loss)  John B. Hood Middle School will now be Piedmont Global Academy, taking its name from an old housing project in downtown Dallas.  Again, if the majority of the students at any school named after a Confederate leader are black, I fully support changing its name.
