Considering that Washington wasn't even a STATE during the Civil War this article is just a prime example of hyper-sensitivity. The building was named to honor somebody local who happens to share a name with a confederate general. 

 I fully agree with removal of any monument dedicated to the failed state that was the Confederacy.  A better idea would be to ban the public display of the Swastika and require that ALL demonstrators taking part in a protest or parade march with fully exposed, unobscured faces. KKCowards won't march if they can't do it without their spooky ghost hoods. 

 No, David, if you really care about what happened in Charlottesville you'd stop blogging nonsense and take the fight to the enemy. Do you have concrete evidence that somebody in your community supports Neo-nazis or the KKK? Out them publicly. There needs to be a comprehensive community-wide immune response to any White Supremacist filth that might be festering in some corner of this city.
