Despite sketchy connections at best, USC's horse mascot Traveler is coming under fire because its name is close to the one Robert E. Lee's horse had.

So we are now allowed to have more than one politics thread?

 

Oops, I just remembered I started a similar thread about liberal language. Never mind
