At Yale, residential Calhoun College is being renamed after students complained about the pro-slavery sentiments of John C. Calhoun, the South Carolinian who served as vice president from 1825 to 1832. In Virginia, a school district is considering banning literary classics \u003ci\u003eTo Kill a Mockingbird\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e because parents complained about the racial slurs in the books. In California, a San Francisco school district wants to rename George Washington High School because our first president owned slaves. In Arkansas, a monument engraved with the Ten Commandments was smashed to smithereens by a protester in a Dodge Dart. And in parks and squares across the South, statues of confederate generals and soldiers are disappearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eErasing America\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist James C.
