Personally, I don't have problems with Robert E. Lee. He gave a lot to my school besides just his name, including electives, student government/autonomy, the honor system, the journalism department, the foreign languages department... He was a great man who believed that education could help heal and remake the South. Unfortunately, he was also subject to a lot of the pervasive racism of his time. I don't want to get into historical arguments, but I definately think that we should always strive to rid ourselves of the scourge or racism.
