Battlefront News In The War On Statues

The University of California is the site of one of the latest skirmishes in the War on Statues.  It seems that the horse ridden around the football field by the USC mascot prior to the games is named "Traveler".  [WARNING the next sentence may be a trigger for some.]  It seems that general Robert E. Lee's horse during the last years of the Civil War was named Traveller.  OH, THE HORROR!!!  As a result, there is a move at USC to rename the horse.

This explains a great deal.  I've seen televised USC football games and I recall seeing nearly the entire student body either faint or break in wails and cries when the mascot and Traveler appeared.  I never understood why until now.  The students were obviously all triggered by the name of the horse and its similarity to Robert E. Lee's horse of 150 years ago.  The upset at games is even worse when USC plays UC-Davis because that school's name includes the last name of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. 

Is there anything that shows the idiocy of the left more than this?

What's next?  Will Congress rename the important labor law called the Davis-Bacon Act?  After all, Davis must offend many, and Bacon should upset Muslims and Jews as not halal or kosher.  Will Sheila Jackson - Lee be expelled from Congress because she has not just one but two Confederate generals in her last name?  At a minimum she ought be stonewalled.
