2. The author seems to be conflating UNC and NC State.

I admit I didn't do more than skim the linked tweets and articles, but I can't see what NC State has to do with this.

I also think "funding white nationalism" and settling a lawsuit aren't quite the same thing. As the NY Times article notes, there was much more to the story than the author is noting and the GOP legislature was involved. The lawsuit was also real, not imagined.

That anyone has to deal with Confederate nonsense in 2019 is appalling, but accuracy is still important.
