Washington and Lee President William C. Dudley is hell-bent on eliminating all references to Robert E. Lee from the campus of W&L. And now that Lee has been almost completely erased, Dudley is going after Traveller.

That’s right. We’re not exaggerating! Robert E. Lee’s beloved equestrian companion, who served with Lee through some of our nation’s most historic battles, and who gave Lee much-needed comfort through afternoon rides in his post-war years in Lexington, is the latest victim of Dudley’s cancel campaign.

This is getting ridiculous. Let’s recap the actions that Dudley has orchestrated in his effort to purge W&L of any association with Lee:

[I am over all of them. I was over it when they took Teddy Roosevelt’s statue off the front stairs of the Museum of Natural History. I’d loved that gorgeous thing since I was a child, and there wouldn’t BE a museum with Teddy. I hate these people – HATE them and you can quote me. And now a horse’s grave marker is offensive. Well, I can see plainly who the horses asses are and not one more inch to them. ~ Beege]
