Civil War II-- 557: N.C. Law Enforcement Group Wants All Traces of Confederacy on Public Spaces to Go

From the September 8, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  All traces of Confederacy must go, NC law enforcement group says.  (Loss)  Hard to believe a law enforcement group would say something like this.  They also want the repeal of the N.C. Cultural History Artifact Management and Patriotism Act of 2015, which protects all monuments, but especially Confederate ones.

The headline is misleading.  When I saw it, it sounded as if they wanted all traces of the Confederacy everywhere removed.

The name of the group is the North Carolina Commission on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Criminal Justice System.  I would also like to know if it is mostly a black organization, or bipartisan.

Some follow up, I went to their site and on their blog, they have the announcement.  The newspaper article made it sound like they wanted everything, everywhere removed.

"WHEREAS, visible and systematic markers of racism and white supremacy, including those commemorating the Confederacy, were erected outside courthouses and centers of government power specifically to reclaim those public spaces for the unjust causes the markers and symbols represent."

Evidently, it is just those by courthouses and in public places.

They also want the 2015 act removed so communities can act on Confederate statue removal.
