I don't know much about VMI so this could be off base,


but it does seem like one of the relatively few Confederate statues that imo are better left alone. He's being honored at a military institution as an exceptional military commander, in multiple conflicts, and a Virginian, at a place he was directly tied to as a member of the faculty. It's not like a Jefferson Davis or Lee statue thrown up in front of a random southern court house in1920 in a Lost Cause white supremacist intimidation effort.
