Lawrence Prevatte ’80, of Indialantic, Fla. says:
I’m thoroughly disgusted with this line of thinking. Instead of doing the right thing, and restoring a monument to its original spot, our representatives kowtow to domestic terrorists. The sons of our University who gave their lives in defense of their country deserve much better treatment than this.
The criminals who defaced and tore down this memorial were not even members of the University.
Actions like these are Orwellian attempts to wipe out the past and erase our history. I’m disappointed and embarrassed by the cowardice displayed by the Chancellors and Board of Governors who support this despicable action. Before this action, and the renaming of Saunders Hall, free speech and adherence to the principles of the Constitution of These United States was adamantly enforced by the University. In the past, I was proud of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but now I’m ashamed of it. I will no longer contribute to my beloved alma mater, nor will I encourage others to attend, while this insanity continues.

conference Wednesday that he thinks restoring UNC’s Confederate monument
to its original site just off Franklin Street is “not the right path,”
according to media reports.
