Three years ago, Woke General Ty Seidule of West Point addressed the
students and faculty at Washington and Lee University on the life and
character of Robert E. Lee. He aimed to tarnish Lee’s reputation and
primacy at the institution and insisted that Lee’s name and legacy be
removed from the campus. Some responded that Seidule was “speaking truth
to power.” After all, Seidule was graduated from Washington and Lee in
1984 and in his story spent years defending Lee, but after he learned
the “truth” about Lee, he could no longer do so in good conscience
