Legacy Is History
RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 23, 2015
Dear Editor,
Sadly I am reading your article “Tempers Flare as AISD Board Tackles Confederate Legacy” [News, Nov. 13]. Of course Austin has a Confederate legacy – that part is history.
Trustees Gordon and Mathias feel a moral imperative to change that. The last political moral imperative I remember was Prohibition. Is this group going to prohibit Austin's history? How about its culture, cuisine, and music? Does this group want those white-washed also?
How sad that these two rabid racists (they are using race to their personal advantage) have anything to do with the education of children.
