Kappa Alpha Order - Drop Confederate Robert E Lee as “Spiritual Lead and Founder.”
Kappa Alpha Order - Drop Confederate Robert E Lee as “Spiritual Lead and Founder.”
The Issue
THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW!
Kappa Alpha Order (KA) is a national fraternity across hundreds of colleges whose spiritual leader and founder is Robert E Lee, the confederate army general. A quote directly from their website, “but his religious convictions, exemplary ideals, values, strong leadership, courtesy, respect for others and gentlemanly conduct greatly influenced the students at Washington College.” He is even listed in their constitution.
It is unacceptable that a national fraternity composed of thousands of white young men are memorializing a racist in over 133 active chapters. This is not how we begin to change the culture surrounding race!
We demand that Kappa Alpha Order
- Admit their faults
- Find a new (not racist) spiritual leader
- Move forward promoting diversity
It is 2020, we can no longer accept racism, whether direct or endorsed, in our society. KA, you are on the wrong side of history!
