Try to erect a statue of any of the important commanders of the southern army during the civil war.
After you get your ass sued off, come back and whine about education in America.
Important people are important because they changed history.
Not because they were on the most envied RSVP lists.
And yet Seattle put up a statue of Vladimir Lenin. Go frigging figure. Try hanging a historic confederate flag or teaching the reality that not only did Blacks also own slaves (note: two biggest slave owners in Charleston were black brothers.) but also fought against the Union. One of the artillery batteries, from what I read, at First Manasis was mostly black and the Army of Tennessee had some 4-6,000 blacks serving under arms.
