Scores of civil rights protesters in North Carolina took a page out of “Spartacus” on Thursday and offered confessions to defacing Confederate monuments.

About 100 activists lined up outside the Durham County Detention Facility, hoping to tell authorities they were responsible for defacing or destroying any number of local monuments honoring Civil War rebels.

“I am Spartacus,” tweeted the group Vets Against Trump, including a picture of the protest and quoting the famed 1960 movie line that’s become synonymous with righteous unity.

Ultimately, the confessing protesters were turned away, with deputies explaining they couldn’t be booked without an actual warrant out for their arrest.

“The Sheriff’s Office supports the right to peaceable assembly,” Sheriff Mike Andrews said. “We have taken steps to ensure the daily operation of the courthouse can process without disruption.”

And overnight, vandals defaced a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee outside a chapel at Duke University. Lee’s nose was broken off and his face chipped.

“Racist ideology has no place in a Christian church,” Duke Divinity School alum and Ocracoke United Methodist Church pastor Richard Bryant told the Herald Sun newspaper.

Duke President Vince Price said no one has the right to vandalize private property — but promised to consider requests to remove the Confederate monument.

“To that end, earlier this week I began consulting with students, faculty, alumni and others about the ways in which we can use this issue to teach, learn and heal,” he said. “Together — and only together — we will determine an appropriate course of action informed by our collective values.”

Also this week, vandals struck the “Silent Sam” statue at the nearby University of North Carolina, a monument to a UNC alum killed in the Civil War.
