I’m on board with removing confederate monuments and considering campus building updates
Why? Are you somehow more important than the folks who named those buildings and erected those monuments? Just because they are dead doesn't give you or anyone else the right to destroy what they erected. Change YOUR own name if that floats your boat. Leave history alone to be passed down to future generations. These monuments provide a window into the past and spur actual debate about what took place. This debate uncovers BOTH sides of an argument which is far, far more honest and better for society in general. Adopting only one perspective about historical events leads to a dead end road where EVERYBODY is FORCED to see things from one perspective whether right or wrong. You don't have a right to deny future Americans the freedom to think for themselves and should be opposing anyone who assumes that right.

Good for you for having a stance. I’m not going to bother responding with my rationale because 1. It doesn’t matter, it won’t change your mind and 2. I don’t have the time to get into a multi thread pissing match with everyone on this board who disagrees.

But I respect your stance and see where you’re coming from and I don’t think you’re wrong to fee the way you do.
