West Point removing memorials of civil war southern traitors.

The US Govt needs to grow a pair and ban all confederate symbols, regalia, reenactments, celebrations and all other items/events that attempt to "honor" racist insurrectionists. All mention of confederacy must begin with "defeated treasonous traitors" e.g. "defeated treasonous traitor general Robert E Lee."

1942 #WWII YANK "Midshipman Cheer For West Point Eleven At Screwiest Army-Navy Game In #History" It took a war to do it. But at the #ArmyNavyGame game this year two battalions of midshipman yelled themselves hoarse, rooting for a football team from #WestPoint. General Marshall himself was banned from the game because he didn't live at #Annapolis, and President Roosevelt couldn't even apply for admission because of his residence. #ncaaf

#Introduction
Hi! I'm an Associate Professor of #Economics at #WestPoint that studies social mobility with a focus on interventions in early childhood.

My most recent work (https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjac023) looked at the long-run impact of cash transfers during the first year of life, but I'm also into early childhood #education, safety net programs, and applied micro more generally.

Everybody toots... I'll just do it once-in-while, though.
