 The following is the text of a letter sent to Lynn Rainville, theDirector of Institutional History at Washington and Lee on July 18, 2023. It has been brought to my attention that the Lilliputian grave desecrators at your once-revered institution have now stooped to a level even below that which I thought anyone would go by desecrating the gravestone of a horse! It seems blatantly obvious that the romance of the Civil Rights movement – running out of victims of society to champion – has degenerated into this. Who were the noble perpetrators? Was it some of your purple-haired, nose-ringed, man-bun coiffed, sleeve-tattooed “social justice warriors” among your spoiled brats? Was it some of your milquetoast administrators? Or was it some of your Marxist faculty on their Maoist “Long March” to level society into its lowest common denominator so as to atomize it for the foundation of a totalitarian government?
Whoever it was, they are not fit to apply hoof oil to Traveller’s hooves, or to muck out his stall, much less to lick the boots of his master, for as Thomas Carlyle said, it takes men of worth to recognize worth in men. You all remind me of an observation made by Admiral Raphael Semmes, CSN: “Live asses will kick at dead lions.”
