At the University of Texas the President Greg Fenves had the removal of the statues of Robert E. Lee and many other confederate figures because it showed as a symbol of white supremacy. Many supporters and opponents showed up to protest about Fenves decisions. There was lot of controversy over what should be done and if it was okay because a lot of people got offended by this. The statues had been taken down over night so that nobody would be watching. The school decided weather to take them down or not because of all the other recent events that involved white supremacy around that time.
