Coalition calls to cancel WKU Lifelong Learning class about Robert E. Lee
Western Kentucky University, located in the former Confederate capital of Kentucky, the city of Bowling Green, is now a cesspool of degeneracy and leftism. This "coalition" is concerned that some old racist white folk might want to learn about their ancestors' history.BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- The Society for Lifelong Learning at WKU offers a wide range of educational programs for people 50 years-old and over. One of their classes has now become the subject of controversy.
An upcoming course beginning on Thursday, October 19 about the life of Confederate soldier, Robert E. Lee has created a coalition calling to cancel the class.
"When we discovered the name of the class was in fact 'Robert E. Lee: Soldier, Educator, and Example in Life and Memory,' it furthered our suspicion that the class was slanted, seemingly biased," says Toby Fatzinger of FYYOA House in Bowling Green.
The coalition sent a letter to the Learning Advisory Board and Founding Members, requesting the class be canceled. It was signed by over 20 individuals, including WKU's ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life and History). See the letter attached to the story.
"Now there's one thing to have Confederate history or all history, and have diverse opinions, to look at Robert E Lee as yes a war hero...but also as a slave owner," says Dr. Selena Sanderfer, History Professor at WKU.
