I wonder how many of todays students are offended by the scriptures as well.

Delirious yet profound, speaking as a general and as a believer, Stonewall's final deathbed words were:
“Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.”
Stonewall was/is a gallant warrior and devout Christian who abides with His savior. He has been revered and admired for 150 years. On the other hand these unbelieving, unregenerate cretins demeaning him will have not a minute of veneration and (undoubtedly) a far different abode for eternity. Their names will be quickly forgotten.
Heavenly Father, thank you that this nation produced that fine Christian and courageous general, Stonewall Jackson. May his legacy live on and his reputation be unblemished. If not in this world, then in the world to come. But may you vindicate him now and heap shame those who were involved in this action.

The more people cave to this type of pressure, the more they will push. Blood in the water draws sharks. Stop bleeding.

Brilliant, just brilliant.
Tear it down, burn it down— history will not be erased.
That means history will mark you down as cowering fools.

VMI need NOT ever ask me for a PENNY again, as they school will NOT get even one cent.
GUTLESS adequately describes the Board-members.

They will not receive another donation from me.
It will be interesting to see the donation numbers over the next few years.

It's time to close VMI.
Stonewall Jackson was one of the finest soldiers this nation ever produced and VMI's legacy is inexorably linked with his. If VMI can't honor that then they don't deserve to exist.

If VMI cannot win the battle of ideas, and Gen Jackson gave them plenty of ammo, then they need to close it down.
This is a failure of rhetoric and spinal cord.

As a VMI alumni - F you.
Northam is not reflective of the rest of us.

General Peay was way past his sell date. As I recall, I think the average time served as a superintendent was about 7 years, and he has been there 17.

The left has become the damn American Taliban, and a lot of people who should know better cave to them.

As an alum, it is difficult to see how it survives this. It probably wont. It probably should not.
