In California, the raging U.S. cultural battle over Civil War icons has spread to the names of horses.
At the University of Southern California, a student group has declared the equine mascot of the school’s Trojans football team to be a symbol of “white supremacy.”
Why? Because the horse bears a name similar to that of a steed that belonged to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The USC football horse is called Traveler (one L), while Lee’s horse was known as Traveller (two L’s).
The student group’s leader voiced her disapproval of the home team horse’s name earlier this week, at an on-campus rally to protest last week’s violence in Charlottesville, Va.
