“Tearing down monuments erases history.”

The purpose of a monument in to pay respect to a person to future generations.

The purpose of a history book is to tell a history to future generations.

With the monuments down, the history still exists.

Not to worry. They'll burn the books next.

There are examples of rewriting history everywhere.

For example the Great Depression of the 1930's. Before 1960 and before the globalist mercantilists took over the Republican Party, history books never mentioned trade or Smoot-Hawley Act as a cause or even an aggravating factor concerning the Great Depression. This is the truth because trade was a tiny part of the overall economy in the 1930's. Now, you enter into a conversation about trade and tariffs and the first thing you hear is Smoot-Hawley CAUSED the Great Depression! What a preposterous lie and re-write of history.

It happens all the time.
