Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee regrets wearing Confederate uniform in college

Why Apologize?  Own it and fight back over this BS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee was 17 when he joined the Kappa Alpha fraternity at Auburn University, which every spring held an "Old South" party where he and other members dressed in Confederate uniforms.

I remember those parades very well, one of the most fun weeks at Auburn. Shame they bowed down to PC pressure to stop them.

No need to apologize, governor. You should have manned up.

Easy picking for the SJW bastards.  Everyone southern school in my era and part of the country had a KA frat that wore the uniform.

F these SOB's.

The thing I remember most about Auburn is Harry's.  They finally tore that place down.

Perhaps he feels like he has changed since 1980.  I can't remember all the things I did in the last 35 years that I should be embarrassed about but I remember some of them, and I am grateful I don't have explain them all.

If the TN Gov is willing to apologize, I'm willing to accept it.
