Even CONGRESS can agree it’s time to cut ties with the Confederacy. Why can’t @kappaalphaorder? #besouthwestern thehill.com/homenews/senat…
See, @kappaalphaorder, change is possible.
NEWS: The Fairfax County School Board has voted to rename Robert E. Lee High School after the late Rep. John Lewis. The new name will be effective for the 2020-21 school year.
Words for @kappaalphaorder to take to heart: "Every confrontation with historical injustice begins with establishing and upholding the truth, against the inevitable tendencies to deny, extenuate, and forget." brown.edu/Research/Slave… #reformKA #besouthwestern
Unsurprisingly, real historians had a lot to say about the most recent take by Larry Wiese and @Kappaalphaorder It's 2020. None of this is new. None of it should be controversial. #reformKAO #besouthwestern
Trending: Kappa Alpha Order chapter at Southwestern University suspended for releasing a statement denouncing the organization's historical ties to the Confederacy. bit.ly/2ONcA5p
Larry Wiese continues to push the false and harmful “Lost Cause” narrative when asked about Xi’s Statement. The longer he holds on, the more it becomes clear his procedural complaints were just a transparent excuse to silence Xi. @SouthwesternU, thoughts? #besouthwestern

A new article from @insidehighered points out the weakness of the grounds for which Wiese suspended Xi Chapter. The message should have outweighed any procedural irregularity. insidehighered.com/news/2020/07/2… #besouthwestern
“Today we can best perpetuate [Lee’s] memory and his nobler traits, not by falsifying his moral debacle, but by explaining it... What Lee did in 1861, other Lees are doing in 1928. They lack the moral courage to stand up for justice” Overdue, but in 2020, Xi Chapter stood up.
W.E.B. DuBois’ brief note on the life and moral cowardice of Robert E. Lee is one of the single most brutal pieces of writing I’ve ever read
This is exactly the sort of "Lost Cause" sanitization of history that Xi Chapter seeks to uproot in KA. By refusing to acknowledge the problematic aspects of Lee's history, KA perpetuates a false narrative & white supremacy. Check out @oblivious_guy's account for more details
W.E.B. DuBois’ brief note on the life and moral cowardice of Robert E. Lee is one of the single most brutal pieces of writing I’ve ever read
With no due respect to @oblivious_guy, Robert E. Lee led an army intent on protecting the institution of slavery Also, a statement can only be slander if it's untrue Come back when you've brushed up on history and the law #besouthwestern
W.E.B. DuBois’ brief note on the life and moral cowardice of Robert E. Lee is one of the single most brutal pieces of writing I’ve ever read
Larry, three easy steps towards changing what people say about you: 1) Unsuspend Xi Chapter, 2) Sever KA’s ties with Robert E. Lee, 3) Publicly commit KA to educating its members about the harms caused by the “Lost Cause” ideology it promotes. #besouthwestern
W.E.B. DuBois’ brief note on the life and moral cowardice of Robert E. Lee is one of the single most brutal pieces of writing I’ve ever read
It’s been one week and @SouthwesternU’s Xi Chapter is still suspended for taking a public stand against @kappaalphaorder ’s racist history. Big thanks to @KVUE and @MikeMarutKVUE for getting this story out. youtube.com/watch?v=0Y05zm…
At 6:00, watch @KVUE's interview between @MikeMarutKVUE and Alumni working to have the @SouthwesternU's chapter reinstated Unless reinstated, no one can hear from the active members who took a stand against racism Sign tinyurl.com/y6ld7fb7 to help them #besouthwestern
@SouthwesternU President Trombley, thank you for encouraging your community to #besouthwestern! "These young men our our students, practicing our core values, and publicly acknowledging what is important to them. They are indeed making 'good trouble.'"
Today, KA's Larry Stanton Wiese communicated that he has no intention to un-suspend @SouthwesternU's Xi Chapter. Why? By taking a public stand against racism, they broke a promise, he said. What promise, Larry? tinyurl.com/y6ld7fb7 #besouthwestern
Today's meeting: Nationals put off the concerns of numerous chapters until a private meeting on 7/31 Nothing can be done now about KA's association with Robert E. Lee, they say They're stalling and @SouthwesternU's Xi Chapter is still suspended for speaking out against racism
Suspending members after they commit overtly racist acts is not enough. KAO needs to reckon with how its support of the "Lost Cause" ideology encourages hateful acts. Silence is complicity.
On the same day #EmmettTill would have turned 78, 3 #OleMiss students have been suspended from the Kappa Alpha Order fraternity & could face #CivilRights charges after posing with guns in front of bullet-riddled #EmmettTill Memorial. mississippicir.org/mississippi-ne…
Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way. #goodtrouble
In today's closed door meeting, KAO will discuss only whether to cut ties with Robert E. Lee. That's not enough! It must also renounce figures like Knight Commander John Temple Graves, rather than praising their eloquence. (TW: support for lynching)
KAO Executive Director Larry Wiese is holding a closed-door meeting today to discuss whether the organization needs to change. The time for discussion is over! Sign Xi's petition to show you agree tinyurl.com/y6ld7fb7
