Attorneys representing both the Black Law Students Association and a law professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have promised to sue the taxpayer-funded school in federal court unless officials remove a century-old statue of a Confederate Civil War soldier from campus.
The statue under legal threat is “Silent Sam,” a 1913 memorial commissioned by the North Carolina branch of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to honor UNC Chapel Hill alumni who “answered the call of duty” during the Civil War.
The threatened lawsuit will rely on Title IV and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, reports The Daily Tar Heel, the campus newspaper.
Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 fosters desegregation in public schools.
Title VI of the 1964 law bans racial discrimination at institutions receiving federal money.

It is time white girls and boys. Go postal on this trash. Stop being slaves to these black punks and put down the BLM posters you tote for "them".
Ok take them all down even MLK and any other black person that made something out of their lives and stood for something. I am so very sick of this sh*t. (map)
No more tax dollars to be given to the Colleges / Universities that have and allow this type of mentality. The Tax Dollars to be denied starts a time of lawsuit filing. Then lets see how many of these students remain and how many leaves because of lack of funds to give them their free college.
It's time for segregation.
These children know nothing.
Silly kids and foolish counsel. They weren't discriminated against; they were admitted to the same college and can take the same classes.
They are the bigots because they want a statue of a white man removed solely because of his race. Mull that one over. And of course the statue is a composite rather than a specific individual. Stupid and sad in one fell swoop!
