--Thomas Jefferson
That should be why we have monuments in America.
If learning from history was the purpose of Stalin, Che (or any other commie) statues in the U.S., I'd agree. It isn't.
Tearing down the statues is a double edged sword.
Remove the monument and people will conveniently forget about the associated errors too.
The monuments should be augmented with historical truth regarding the evil the individuals - and their supporters in the USA and elsewhere, perpetrated.
