Robert E. Lee memorial in Brooklyn to be taken down
New York Post, Aug 15, 2017, Chris Perez




The South isn’t the only place where Confederate monuments still exist.

New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn — where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years.

It won’t remain there for long, though.

Diocese officials announced Tuesday that they would be removing the plaque following the events in Charlottesville last weekend and renewed concerns over Confederate symbols and statues.

“I think it is the responsible thing for us to do,” Bishop Lawrence Provenzano, of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, told Newsday.

There is also a memorial of Robert E. Lee at his homestead in Arlington.  It is called Arlington National Cemetary.

Will they also take that down along with digging up the thousands of graves on his family's soil?

Where does this end? 

Pst - there is no end, unless someone ends the idiocy.

Everyone has lost their minds.   Is there no one with the balls to stand against this crap?

How about the Che statue in NYC?

Lee was just trying to reduce his carbon footprint.  SJWs should rejoice.

Correct. The "end" will be a Ministry of Truth, a la "1984".

I know it was a news item elsewhere today, but how long until they tear down the Washington Monument and remove all the Confederate memorials at Gettysburg?

Not to mention removing all the headstones from Confederate cemeteries and bulldozing them over.

I would expect them to demolish Arlington House as well.

Let your imagination be your guide.

The Vladimir  Lenin statue in Seattle.
