Excellent....common sense prevails.

The south has its history and southerners died for their beliefs....just as the northerners did.

This "cleansing": removing statues, flags, art is an abomination.

You want to do the right thing....get rid of the Lenin statues in the US.

The building of these monuments was encouraged by President McKinley in the late 1800s and federal government policy at the time to help heal the wounds of the Civil War. The philosophy was that both sides’ veterans should be honored equally. There’s a Confederate Memorial in Arlington.

Doesn’t relate to Jim Crow.

Check out every New England town. It also will have its Civil War monument to correspond with the ones in Southern towns.

Get rid of Earth Day while were at it. We know whose birthday Earthday falls on and we know about the woman beating hippie murderer who came up with the idea, Ira Einhorn.

“This “cleansing”: removing statues, flags, art is an abomination.”

The Nikki Haley wing of the GOP has been helping them.

And it’s not just Civil War history that’s under attack, the always opportunistic Dinesh D’Souza has been waging a PC jihad against Andrew Jackson.
