UNC Honor Court panelist Frank Pray is *not* impartial on the issue of Silent Sam, and should not be allowed to participate in the trial of student activist Maya Little.
Here’s some of what we found so far showing just how strong Frank Pray’s opinions on Silent Sam actually are:
'Conservative students...who are proud of their heritage and of the history of the old north state, will not support... changes to The Silent Sam Memorial'
- F Pray, 2015
'I have been impartial throughout this entire process'
- F Pray, 2018

On Facilities' use of a power washer/brushes to clean Sam: "We don't make the rules, we just take the work orders and we do it."

Cops in the peanut gallery. One keeps dozing off. Another testified in Orange County, said they had 24hr presence at Sam to prevent "heart attacks."

Why has Silent Sam been repeatedly painted over the years?
"I'm assuming it was because of the racial tension with the statue."
