No, but there is a petition to remove a Gandhi statute in England. If we look hard enough, we will find faults in all historic and present day figures. We are human. We live in a fallen world.
There was only one person who lived a faultless life. Who knew no sin. Yet, I don’t see many people clamoring to have His statute put up in the center of town.
I am all for taking down the Confederate statutes and putting them in museums or historical sites. But what will it accomplish? It won’t change our history. Maybe, we should just start looking at what makes us the same. Looking for things we have in common and go from there. Instead of trying to separate ourselves, let’s celebrate our commonalities and try to learn from each other. Respect each other’s history and strive to make this world a little bit better.

I believe this is what the silent majority wish for but the radical fringes are dominating the rhetoric right now so it’s mob rule and revisionist history. We’re going to judge every person who ever lived based on the standards of today and when none of them measure up, throw them and anything they ever accomplished on the trash pile and forget them. The intellectual hypocrisy is astonishing and frightening. I’m believing the story of the KGB defector back in the 80’s and 90’s more and more.

These things have nothing to do with truth or justice, etc., it's all about power, revenge, jealousy, money and the demonization of their opposition.
You are right about the Son of God though He would want no statue but is waiting for the right time to return and only then will grievances be addressed and dealt with perfectly for "the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth". Even Joseph acknowledged that he was incapable of judging his brothers properly but left it all in the Lord's hands and took care of his guilt-ridden brothers.
