unfortunate that so many cities with historic statues made knee-jerk decisions
Not all of those statues had to go, but some were clearly way past their expiration date. Honoring people for their contributions to society is one thing, but honoring them for their service to the confederacy is retarded.

There’s much to be said for and to learn from many of those depicted in stone/marble/bronze.
They’re part of history, whether you and/or I like them or not.
I vehemently disagree with Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger, and find her legacy to be monstrous.
But I would be VERY frightened if people were forced to agree with me, whilst those who didn’t were silenced.
The presence of the Sanger statue in Old South Meeting House in Boston, though personally abhorrent to me, can serve as a catalyst for important conversations.
