Isn’t it amazing how things have turned upside down. For heaven’s sake, what should King be known for if not advocating for a color-blind society? Now we have someone going balistic about a Chinaman creating King’s statue. I think he would be incredibly impressed at the prospect.

Now, off to my beef with this. 36 feet tall? Should this statue dwarf the memorials of our other nation’s greats? Absolutely not!

It grates me something fierce that our education system has tried to eclipse the founders and other great men, with the story of King. Give King his due as a figurehead if you will, but don’t you dare place him above our founders and other significant national personas.

King is by no means the most important man in U.S. History and the move to give him that title is terribly misguided and fraudulent.

I agree. Why is King being honored there? He is nowhere near the level of the others. The whole idea is stupid and politically correct from the start.
