unc proposal to keep \'silent sam\' on campus at new location triggers protest  -  outdoor display

On Monday, the relocation plan for a federal statue displayed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill sparked protests hours after the campus trustee overwhelmingly approved the proposal.
Prime Minister Carol Foor's proposal includes moving the statue.
Known as "Silent Sam"
A $5 million new building on the outskirts of the school campus is located a mile south of the monument.
Only one trustee voted against it.
Flashback: on Monday night, the Silent Sam statue knocked down the protesters and marched to the former residence of the statue, calm but noisy, which described our protesters' "illegal and dangerous" behavior.
The base of the statue appears to have been boarded and guarded by university police.
Protesters stepped on the railing and police began handing out riot helmets.
Then the protesters began to shout, "we don't see the riots here!
Why are you wearing riot gear?
Protesters began to disperse later.
The "Silent Sam" erected on 1913 was overthrown by demonstrators in August, who condemned the statue as a symbol of racist heritage. Folt —
He acknowledged that "the monument has been divided for many years"
Their actions were then called "illegal and dangerous ".
The principal and several trustees said they would prefer to move the statue completely out of the campus, but they were limited by the laws of the state of 2015 regarding the Confederate statue and other monuments.
Folt said that safety is a major factor in many of the factors considered when developing a new plan.
"It is clear that public safety alone will not be able to send it back to the base or any outdoor location on our campus," she said at a meeting on Monday . ".
The United Nations Command was not the first university to fight the Confederacy Monument and finally decided to move a monument to the interior.
The University of Texas removed several bunlian statues from the outdoor exhibition, including the statue of the bunlian President Jefferson Davis, who was demolished in 2015, and is now on display at the museum.
The law in North Carolina on historic sites only allows for relocation in a narrow environment, such as conservation of cultural relics or buildings.
More than a year before the overthrow of "Silent Sam", "Silent Sam" has been the venue for protests, where 2017 white nationalism took place in Charlottsville, Virginia
In the weeks following the removal of the Silent Sam, demonstrations to support and oppose the statue continued, resulting in arrests.
In these protests, the university has vowed to develop a "legal and lasting" plan for the statue, which will take the views of students, alumni, faculty and others.
When the university makes a plan for it, it is stored in a secret place.
Critics of the statue have posted online complaining that the new plan is too expensive and that the statue has no place on campus, calling for another protest.
Lucia Suarez Sang of Fox News and The Associated Press contributed to the report.

Why Digital Podiums Are Becoming Essential for Smart Classrooms and Hybrid Learning Environments in 2026
