In reply, my tone of voice is calm and non-confrontational. I'm only stating a fact. When you name a building after someone, you are honoring them. After 1856, American Robert E. Lee led the army that fought against the United States in an attempt to secede from the country. Treason is defined as the crime of betraying one's country. I'm not OK with honoring him. Changing the name of a building from honoring a traitor to something else is like taking down a statue honoring that person. It doesn't change history, in fact it does the opposite; it negates someone else's previous attempt to change history. I hope the mods do not take any of our posts down because we are both exemplifying how to have a calm discussion about something we disagree with. Keeping our comments here shows how people should behave online. That's all I'll say about the subject. Peace.
