Removal of Confederate Monuments

[L Verge]

http://thefederalist.com/2017/04/25/new-...monuments/ Also this quote from a post on civilwartalk:

I have no doubt that those who want to remove the statues in question really do find them offensive and think that removing them will further inclusion and tolerance.

I merely disagree with the removal because, as I pointed out in another thread, history is not pretty; and by removing the statues in question we are all squandering an opportunity to use the statues (something offensive to some) to teach history (something positive to all).
