Southern Discomfort
An Appeals Court in Tennessee has ruled that PC busybodies can’t renege on a 70-year-old agreement with the United Daughters of the Confederacy and rename a residence hall at Vanderbilt University because its name now offends some people, according to the Tennessean.
Vanderbilt tried to change the name of the 70-year-old “Confederate Memorial Hall” to ''Memorial Hall'' because the former has overtones of slavery and was offensive to some folks.
The UDC, which contributed $50,000 to its construction, argued that the dormitory was simply a memorial to fallen soldiers with no racist implications.
**end**
See, folks, there IS a difference.
