| 201 | Patrick Gerity | Stop trying to re-write history. These are historic statues that should be left alone. If someone does not like them, then those people may choose to walk elsewhere. We should strive to preserve all peoples heritage and not discard one heritage for another groups heritage haphazardly. |
| 202 | Patrick F. McKeen | Leave the statues of General R.E. Lee and President Davis alone. |
| 203 | J.Lee Holbrook | |
| 204 | Johnnie McWilliams | The statues are a part of our Texas History and should not be removed just because the NAACP has complained. You should't try to rewrite history to satisfy their complaints. |
| 205 | Jerry Watkins SSgt USAF(ret) | stop this cultural genocide of southerners,we value our heroes and this is just as bad as the lynchings done by racists to blacks! What you are doing to people decended from Confederate War heroes.

| 206 | Terry and Carla Wabnitz | Will you take away the Alamo next because of the Illegal Immigration situation |
| 207 | George Dixon | Please do not remove statue. History is hisitory. Stop trying to be politically correct when you make yourself historically inaccurate. |
| 208 | Don A. Lightsey | Please stop trying to rewrite our history. These statues honor all our ancestors and should remain standing on the UT Campus. |
| 209 | Karla Smith | When my great grandfather gave four years of his very young life to the cause of the south, he was a loyal citizen of Texas and not a racist. |
| 210 | Kristi Tuttle | I do not believe the statues should be removed. My gg-grandfathers fought for the Confederacy becaue it was expected of him or they would have labeled him a traitor. They did what they thought was right and did not want there families hurt because they did not fight. |
| 211 | Ralph Carson | There is no excuse for this dispicable act. Do not bow to agitators. your students are there for an education, give them one. An education in honor. It is dishonorable to try to erase our history. |
| 212 | Dr. Kenneth Muckelroy | Enslavement of the blacks was wrong. The actions of the KKK were wrong. The mistreatment
of the blacks since the Emancipation Proclamation has been wrong. Decretating the Great Leaders of the Confederacy is also wrong. Why do we want to continue with more wrongs. We celebrate MLK Day. Let us also celebrate out OTHER Heros. |
| 213 | Marjorie Lee Burnett | So what's next? Removing all traces of our Texians who fought and won freedom as an independent country? The Confederate States of America was a real event in our real history. Leave history alone and worry about educating our young people. |
| 214 | Marjorie Lee Burnett | So what's next? Removing all traces of our Texians who fought and won freedom as an independent country? The Confederate States of America was a real event in our real history. Leave history alone and worry about educating our young people. |
| 215 | Joe Graf | These heros worked beyond their calls of duty to protect their homeland, and the true American values and principals. |
| 216 | Nancy O'Massey | Please do not let one organization re-write our history. History can not be erased. |
| 217 | Cecil Ard | Tell the NAACP that we will remove the statue of Robert E. Lee and Jeff Davis.if they will remove all of the streets named after Martin Luther King and take away the paid holidays. |
| 218 | Nancy McLarry | You are never going to learn anything with the liberal attitude that is predominate in the University of Texas. Leave things alone and conserve history! Do not get rid of the statues......get rid of the President of the University! (Is he a yankee?) |
| 219 | Sam Ashwood | This attempt to remove Confederate statues from the university is nothing short of cultural assassination. If you allow this to go through, any pretense you make to academic liberty in the future will be nothing short of hypocritical. |
| 220 | Darrell Cross | Keep the statues. |
| 221 | Stuart E. Lawrence, Jr. | Re-writing history on an institution of higher learning is ridiculous. The NAACP has lost focus on history and should be ignored. |
| 222 | Janie Ballard | PLEASE STOP LETTING THE NAACP RUN AMERICA. |
| 223 | William Mark Day | Lee and Davis are a part of our Texas History. Our state history is what it is. It can not be changed. The statues should be left as they are. |
| 224 | Barbara Neal | The President of the University of Texas and most of the faculty are threats to Texas and the Texas heritage of strength and courage in the face of adversity and overwhelming odds. Our ancestors believed in a cause; this moron and his aid and abettors believe in cutting and running in the face of diversity. How about if they all leave Texas and run for office with the NAACP or La Raza? |
| 225 | Marian Oden | History is history! Neither the NAACP nor the University of Texas brain trusts can re-write it. The statues are an integral part of our country's struggles and, more importantly, our ancestry. |
| 226 | Gail Olin | Folks,
Those who forget, purge and otherwise try to change history run a very high risk of repeating it. Please keep the statues in place as a lesson to all of us about where we came from, so there is a clear path marked where we are going. It's critical to keep history intact. Hasn't the latest conference regarding the holocost taught you anything? Those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it. |
| 227 | Jeremiah | It is not your decision to decide what history in America is important. If you want to take the statue of Robert .E Lee or any other confederate generals you are not a real Texan. I think there are bigger problems in the world then everybody running around the nation trying to make sure everyone's culture is not offending someone. "You are a slave to the black mans thinking." i dont care if you think it sounds racist or what. Just think about it. People are breaking family traditions and State traditions everyday just so they can keep another race happy.
Its wrong. |

| 231 | J.W.Schleuning | Leave History alone you screwed with it enough!!! |
| 232 | Jan Smith | Once upon a time there was a Civil War in our country. As in any conflict people took sides in the debate. It is a fact of history and there were valuable lessons learned. We cannot erase the past, but we can choose to continue to learn from the history. Please leave this one alone and focus on more important political issues impacting us today, such as the war in Iraq. |
| 233 | RUSSELL W. LEAVENS | THE HISTORY REVISIONIST ARE ON THE MARCH. THE "WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION" IS A PART OF HISTORY. THE UNIVERSITY HAS A CERTIAN RESPONSIBILITY TO PRESERVE HISTORY. |
| 234 | Martha J Weber | Leave our statues alone! |
| 235 | Doris L. Mills | Please leave the statues where they are. |
| 236 | Richard Thurston | it is an honor to stand in the shadows of these great men....stand up Texas! |

| 239 | B. J. Blackerby | Why don't Federal Historic Laws protect these " Statues " ? |
| 240 | Gary Mitchell | |
| 241 | J Tip Finley | these were galant men and their heritage should be left as is. |
| 242 | David Wells | |
| 243 | Neil G. Barrett | Please do not remove the statues of Robert E. Lee and Jeff Davis. Holy Bible King James 1611 -Matthew 3: 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. I Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: |
| 244 | Ben Rucker | This part of our history, leave it alone!! |
| 245 | Anonymous | Do not remove the statues that denote part of our state's history and our ancestors' valor. Respect our history, learn from our past, and move on to making the present the best we can be. |
| 246 | Kellye | i think the government has gone to far. first they said we could not fly the confederate Flag over the capital in the south. Now they want to take down the statues of soliders who faught for what they belived in and the word of freedom. What has happen to the United States? I think the statues should stay put. If they do that then they need to re-write the history books and tell everyone child what our great leaders of the 21 cent. thinks about their ancestors. |
| 247 | Barbara Wilson | Please do not let a few people re-write history! The staues of these great men MUST stay. There is just to much of this going on. Stand up America, wake up they are taking our fredoms away. What next tear down the Alamo???? |
| 248 | PAT ESTES | yes---please leave the statues alone, been there many years---------many more to go! |
| 249 | Betty Holder | History is history, leave it alone. Study it and learn from the mistakes of the past. Do not try to hide it in the closet. |
