Will the SPLC also want this Confederate Jew’s memorial<\/a> eradicated?<\/p>\n

From AL.com<\/a>: The Southern Poverty Law Center in August launched a campaign to build an interactive map of all parks, school mascots, and streets that honor the Confederacy and its leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Confederate flag doesn\u2019t just represent Southern \u2018heritage,\u2019 it\u2019s a deeply divisive symbol used by racist groups, one what was raised above state capitols in the Deep South during the civil rights movement to show that they stood for white supremacy,\u201d said SPLC Founder Morris Dees. \u201cThere\u2019s no place for this or other symbols of the Confederacy in our public spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SPLC is asking people to send in names of photos of \u201cConfederate statues or monuments; flags; government seals; patches on government uniforms; the names of parks, streets, schools, military bases or counties; school mascots; and other examples.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group is also preparing a \u201ca community action guide to help local communities reach consensus on removing publicly supported symbols that represent the slave-holding South.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Confederate flags continue to come down from government buildings and Civil War monuments are pulled from public places, more groups are resisting the change.<\/p>\n

The Columbia, Tenn.-based Sons of Confederate Veterans Heritage Defense Fund raised $40,000 of its $100,000 goal as it fights \u201cthe greatest threat to our heritage in modern times.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe radical leftists who are driving this crisis are committed to the complete eradication of all things Confederate,\u201d the site states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
