From the April 11-12, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** What's in a name? What's in a mascot? (Rebel Yell student newspaper of UNLV, student newspaper since 1955) Some students even go so far as to believe the name of the newspaper came from a Billy Idol song. But, it was the yell used by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War (and we all know what they were fighting for. They would yell "Slave! Slave! Slave!" while running into battle). The school also has the Hey Reb mascot and are nicknamed Rebels. Some students obviously want to change all of this.
** Community members protest Brazos County's Confederate Heritage Month. (Texas) (Loss) And even though they said, "Slavery Bad!!!" in the proclamation. There just is no pleasing some folk.
