The University of Texas at Austin silently removed three Confederate statues late Sunday night, just 10 days before classes begin.

Officials removed the statues depicting Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney, and John Reagan, according to the Texas Tribune. University President Greg Fenves said that the statues were removed because the images “run counter to the university’s core values,” according to a released statement.

  1. They hide their shame in the darkness. It is reminiscent of the Obamacare vote.

  2. This politically incorrect passage comes to mind:

    And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. --John 3:19-20
