I intend to propose legislation to move Confederate monuments, memorials, and markers from public property to museums and educational institutions, where they can be respectfully preserved and historically contextualized

Curious what makes her think museums and schools will take them?

I am sure there are museums where they can be respectfully displayed.

"As far as removing the monuments, that’s very sad because these are monuments to veterans or Confederate soldiers. The U.S. Congress said that all veterans are U.S. veterans," Nelson said.

At least Dave gets it right.

And Americans will meekly succumb to the American Taliban. This country is done.

This woman is an idiot and fascist. What a snowflake-pimping fool. What ever happened to Freedom of Speech and History? What kind of morons elect this type of loser?

A strategy should have been in place to counter more of this idiocy in removing these symbols of our understanding the proper role of Fedzilla. A group should be formed to distribute these artifacts to PROMINENT and HIGH places in the community that are private lands.
We need the well-to-do landowner to help with this project.

Jackson is one of the most popular boys’ names in the state of Florida. Somehow, I don’t think this idea will go over big inJacksonville. It is not at all like Charlottesville.

They seem to forget that many of these men (largely teenagers) went and served as ordered by their states and their nation ( right or wrongly formed) ) Not because of their personal views.

This really reminds me of the taliban blowing up the ancient monuments. It’s history you idiots.

Do you honestly think the Left will sit quietly and allow museums to respectfully display Confederate monuments?

I can read the headlines now:

Maybe get back to lettered and numbered streets? That would be easier anyway.

Just wait a minute, didn’t Andrew Jackson own slaves?
Then, shouldn’t they also change the name of Jacksonville?
We know how she feels, what about the people who live there?
What do they say? How do they feel about it?
I say, “Let the residents of Jacksonville make that decision”. Not some snivelling PC monger

If Jacksonville City Council President Anna Lopez Brosche doesn't like it here, she should return to the country of her heritage.

They intend to use this event in Charlottesville as a catalyst to remove all Confederate monuments.
When they are done with that they will move on to some other aspect of American history.
Anyone resisting the erasure of history will be tarred as a racist white supremacist.
Everyone who is not behind Antifa, BLM and the rest must be racists, bigots, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, etc.
No defense of American history, values, culture or way of life will be tolerated.

What makes them think that removing the statues will make things all hunky-dory from now on?..................

When will the ‘anti-Confederacy’ folks demand that all confederate veterans be exhumed from cemeteries and their remains sent to an ‘appropriate site, such as the local land fill?’

How is it that the further we get away from the civil right movement the more sensitive people get
