If I were a student, or the parent of a student, I'd be sharpening pitchforks for the UNC System Board of Governors
Calamitous, clown-shoes leadership

This is ABB's response thus far about their racist employee Tracey Ovitt who has ties to League of the South. ABB has a facility in Mebane; Ovitt appears fixated on local activists, their families, and appeasing LoS member Woody Weaver thru her barrage of Fb posts. @ABBgroupnews
“The Times-News reached out to the Sheriff's Office three weeks ago and has yet to receive data on the number of compensatory hours given as a result of stationing deputies at the monument or other costs to the department.”

Last night, the Alamance County (NC) Sheriff's Office forcibly removed & charged a woman attempting to speak to @UPS representatives about the #ConfederateMonument in front of the government building DURING her allotted time to address the Board of Commissioners. #AlamanceCounty
Members of the neo-Confederate group "Alamance County Taking Back Alamance County" (ACTBAC) suffer from a severe case of collective historical amnesia. Their vision of "heritage" just doesn't match actual Alamance history.
A (running) Lost Cause-mythbusting thread on Alamance...
It’s disappointing to see so few faith leaders today follow the footsteps of their abolitionist forefathers and admit that many things happening today are not compatible with Christianity.
Fact: Alamance was at the center of the NC "Quaker Belt" (incl. Quakers, Moravians and Wesleyans). Most held anti-slavery beliefs and many opposed secession and the Confederacy.
Fun fact. This math is roughly the same as the Alamance People’s Referendum (petition) last weekend. Seems the people of Alamance are still the same, it’s the leadership that’s the problem.
Fact: Before and during the Civil War, Alamance County was a hotbed of militant Unionists and resistance to secession and the Confederacy. In March 1861, Alamance voted overwhelmingly against leaving the Union: 1,114 to 254!

Welcome to Amy Galey’s Alamance County, where daring to break the rules of decorum gets you arrested, and the reaction to crowds outside chanting for their voices to be heard are an inconvenience met with “should I shut them up?” by the Sheriff https://t.co/vz8sITiCui
Last night, anti-racist protesters in Graham marched from the Confederate statue to the Alamance commissioners meeting where they chanted outside and watched online as Amy Galey and Sheriff Johnson had one of the scheduled speakers representing them arrested.
As I was walking back to my truck, this woman with the Confederates waved and yelled at me from across the street. "Hey there, Mr. Antifa! Come over here! Take my picture!"
In his comments he continues to repeat a clearly false opinion on the ability to remove the monument. If you refuse to raise your eyes & see how other communities across your own state have acted, how can you claim to be representing all, rather than attempting to find excuses
It would be nice to take Steve Carter’s comments at face value about being welcoming of all people’s comments from last nights Alamance County Commissioner’s meeting, but for one problem.
The term "civility" has been weaponized to silence voices of dissent and preserve white power. Shame on you Alamance County Commissioners.
