Is the US Army War College about to take down its portraits of Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and other Confederate officers? The institution in rural Pennsylvania is having a debate about it, the Washington Times reports. Rumors started when one faculty member took portraits of Lee and Jackson down in the hallway outside his office, prompting a Times story and a post from the school's commandant saying the professor had acted on his own.
But the school is conducting an inventory and reorganization of all its artwork, in the hopes of arranging them to form a historical narrative, and a college spokeswoman tells the Times that "at least one person has questioned why we would honor individuals who were enemies of the United States Army. There will be a dialogue." Taking them down, however, could spark a backlash. "This army now is not the army of Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur, it's the army of political correctness," complained an anchor from KETK in Texas. (More Robert E. Lee stories.)
