Confederate memorials being removed at Wisconsin cemetery

I was born in Madison and grew up in a nearby rural village. When I was a kid, very few people were aware of the existence of this plaque or the Confederate graveyard, and if they did, nobody cared that I ever heard of. Most people knew of Camp Randall's (in Madison) history of training Wisconsin regiments before they were shipped south to the front lines, but that was it - we never were told about it being a prisoner-of-war camp. Camp Randall today is more famous for being the site of the University of Wisconsin's football stadium than anything else. However, during the Vietnam War, the U of W became very radical; in 1969 it even beat out UC Berkely as the most radical campus in the U.S. (according to Playboy magazine). The university has continued to be a bastion of left-wing progressivism, and now that students can vote in Madison's elections, the city (and Dane County around it) has pretty much become a very liberal-progressive-demoncratic island in a mostly Republican state. So, I am not surprised at the local progressives' effort to cleanse this cemetery of any Confederate memorials to "keep up with the Joneses" elsewhere and make the area PC. I'm confident that they are also scouring the countryside for any other un-PC monuments or memorials that they can tear down so that people will know they are assiduously carrying out their duty for their ideology.

In my opinion and mind these type of people are a serious plague on mankind.
