History prof calls for 'rally by the you-know-what' to halt pride event, supports sundown towns

https://www.cbs42.com/digital-exclusive/college-history-instructor-calls-for-rally-by-the-you-know-what-to-halt-cullman-pride-event/

On Monday, in a private Facebook post, Wallace State Community College history instructor Leigh Ann Courington suggested Satan had a hand in the event, called Cullman Comes Out, which is set to take place Oct. 8.

“The devil is attacking our beautiful town of Cullman now apparently…and the police chief is in on it? I heard he was a crazy-ass liberal but this??? We need a rally by the you-know-what to put an end to this foolishness. Of course, it may be as well-attended as the Juneteenth event the white liberal weirdos tried to do a few years ago in Hanceville.”

The post was quickly screenshotted and shared across social media.

Courington declined an interview about her statements.


“People need to get a life,” Courington told CBS 42. “Good grief.”

put her on admin leave. Now she will be crying about all the liberals at Wallace State and how unfair they are to her.

From the link, this history professor:

Lee said that in her time studying under Courington, there were times when she questioned the instructor’s teachings on some content areas, particularly the Civil War, which Courington referred to as the “War Between the States.”

“She emphasized that at its core, the Civil War wasn’t about slavery,” Lee said. “I know better.”



From the Cullman Tribune:

People forget that some gen xers had parents that were the ones screaming in Montgomery and Selma, and they still think this way.

Or so they think. Then when they get pushed back they cry about how "liburals" are being unfair.

saw that in June while driving I-65. My first time in Alabama. Came across it too quick to grab a picture. Or maybe it made this Midwesterner freeze in shock. Thanks for posting, now can share with my friends.

A rally... like those friendly Proud Boys who were busted in the back of a U-Haul on their way to cause problems at a gay pride event? Or maybe the "You won't replace us" brown shirts with the tiki torches in Charlottesville?
