The racist history behind the 10 US Army facilities named after Confederate leaders

This whole line of thought is profoundly stupid.
While we are at it, we should rename the nation's capitol because he was a slaveholder.
Perhaps we should rename half the cities in New England because they symbolize English oppression of the Irish.
Slaves were held in Egypt, so Cairo, IL and Memphis, TN are out.
Where does it end? Because the mob will never be placated. An adult needs to tell them no.

We know. But it is part of our history. Let's teach it and why it is wrong instead of burying it.

We say "lest we forget" then turn around and erase part of history.

We say we need to do better but erase what was done.

We say the *name* is racist yet ignore the fact that we overcame most of what was fought for.

We take hallowed ground and claim it is worthless because of the name.

80+ years of Airborne training and tradition at this one base. Fully integrated units have overcome racist segregation. These bases are testaments to learning and remembering where we all came from. This social warrior demand to erase history is an emotional band-aid that will not heal any wounds.
