Crews prepare to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson from the campus of the Virginia Military Institute on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020, in Lexington, Va. (AP Photo/Sarah Rankin)LEXINGTON, Va. – The Virginia Military Institute removed a prominent statue of Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson on Monday, a project initiated this fall after allegations of systemic racism roiled the public college. But “VMI does not define itself by this statue and that is why this move is appropriate,” he added. VMI said the statue will be relocated to a nearby Civil War museum at a battlefield where dozens of VMI cadets were killed or wounded. But he said it would not remove the statue of Jackson, who owned enslaved people, or rethink the names of buildings honoring Confederate leaders. In 2015, VMI did away with requiring freshmen to salute the statue each time they passed it, Wyatt said.

CNN Video(CNN) - The Pentagon is preparing to withdraw thousands of troops from Afghanistan as part of a proposed peace deal with the Taliban, both The Washington Post and Fox News reported Thursday. So far, no agreement has been finalized, Fox News said. The withdrawal would cut the number of troops in the country from 14,000 to between 8,000 and 9,000, the Post said. Months of negotiations have taken place between the Taliban and Zalmay Khalilzad, an Afghanistan-born American diplomat who was appointed by President Donald Trump, the Post said. An agreement could be finalized ahead of the Afghan presidential election in September, but officials cautioned that Taliban leaders could delay that timetable.

Negotiators for the White House and congressional leaders were working out details, but any agreement would still require the president's approval, the Post said. The White House had sought cuts to reach a deal, but sources told the Post any such cuts would happen at a later time, and could be reversed by a future session of Congress. The House will recess next week, leaving a tight timeline for approval. The Senate plans to remain in session and additional week, allowing more time for a vote and the president's signature, the Post added.
