Couldn't the grads just Crayola over the pics??

Law students at Washington & Lee University campaign to have portraits of George Washington and Robert E. Lee removed from diplomas because people may find the slaveholders 'controversial or offensive'

Students at the Washington & Lee University School of Law are petitioning for the option to remove portraits of the school's namesakes from their diplomas
The university was named after former president George Washington and Confederate commander Robert E. Lee
Organizers at the Lexington, Virginia, school say the historical figures 'controversial'
Both were slaveholders and Lee's role in the American Civil War has brought criticism to their legacies
Petition has been signed by current students, alumni and some faculty members
An opposing group, The General Redoubt, say the petition will 'dismantle the traditions, values and history,' of the university
