Upset over name change
As a citizen of this county, sadness was my first reaction to the name change at Haile Plantation Golf & Country Club. Then came the anger at the alluded to, but no doubt real reason for the change.
It is a shame that, over the past several years, pseudo-intellectuals have been quite successful in guilting many present-day Americans over our nation’s past mistakes slavery being the most obvious and disgusting. This has resulted in historical monuments being moved or destroyed as well as name changing. Sadly, it would seem that the powers-that-be at Haile are among the gullible and guilt-ridden in our area.
