The actual crusaders. Why should I think it acceptable for teams to be named after them? Because it’s been common practice for decades? |

Do they know "obfuscation." There's a big word for them.I think it was Winston in 1984 who said “every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.” |

That’s an extreme analogy. What I want isn’t an erasure of history, it’s an end to veneration. Confederate traitors, crusaders and other objectionable people will still be in the museums, and history books, and we can have monuments to their victims.We don’t need statues of Nazis or communists in town squares to keep remembering who they were and what they did. |

Which of course has nothing to do with current pushes toward "political correctness."I am confident that in 20 years, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Jefferson Davis will feature prominently in all US high school history books. There may be a bit more use of the word "however" in discussions of Washington and Jefferson. |

The thing about Washington and T. Jefferson is that veneration of them is for the good that they did, it doesn’t mean they’re perfect gods who did no harm, ever.Someone wrote the Declaration of Independence and someone led American forces to victory in the Revolutionary War and served as our first president. Those things are worthy of respect. The difference between them as slave masters and Robert E. Lee as slave drivers is that we commemorate Washington and Jefferson despite the fact that they owned slaves. Lee and Davis were commemorated because they owned slaves; they did nothing else worthy of commemoration. The lost cause was not ever something to look upon with awe and regret. “Erasing history” is a red herring. |

"Erasing history" isn't such a problem because not that many really give a FFF for history in the first place.It's rewriting history that bothers me more. Case in point: Woodrow Wilson. He was venerated in my school learnings as an intellectual and progressive, and in Democratic politics until recently. I could literally write a book about the flaws and dangers of the man, from his suppression of civil liberties through his naive internationalism to his bringing America into a bloody war after he won reelection for promising to keep the U.S. out. And that's just a start. But what will he be vilified for: Being a garden variety racism Southern Democrat, a creature of his time. Talk about missing a teachable moment. |

And frankly, using Mexico as a back door for invading the USA was a very real danger; the Kaiser had already said that he intended to unite Europe "against America", and Wilson's slogan to keep the US "out of war" was craven, just like his refusal to avenge the attack on the Lusitania. (TR was reported to have said in response to that slogan "He Kept Us Out Of War" and to Wilson's habit of sending the Kaiser notes begging him to not attack ships with US citizens on board: "I was president for 7½ years, and if I were president today, I would send the Kaiser just one noteand he would know that I meant it!") |

Where do you get that number from? Nowhere near 333,333 Americans died in WWI; more like a third of that number, when all causes are accounted for. Contrast that with the Central Powers 4.3 million. |
