Not that surprising to note that the people on the political left are never that big into property rights.
The recently named Emancipation Park was originally donated to the city by a Paul McIntire, who died in 1952, on the understanding it would commemorate Civil War hero Robert E Lee by being named after him as well as housing his statues.
OK, so times change, history is revised, and the majority wish to forget General Lee, if not castigate him, but are you justified in simply taking a donation that was used for one goal and then applying it elsewhere? Philanthropist Paul McIntire was an alma mater of the University of Virginia and apparently cared about its future judging by the endowments the gave it. One wonders if the city has given the value of park back to the estate of McIntire, or at least donated it to the U. of Virginia
