The statue of that baby killer is inside the property of a private, non profit organization. It's a glorified museum. It's not up in the middle of the town square where people have to see it every day (like every other Confederate monument). The way they did it is the right way IMO. I encourage public governments to move confederate monuments away from public parks and into museums.
And yes, context does matter.
For example, leaving a confederate flag up to celebrate Six Flags Over Texas? That's fine. It's celebrates Texas and not the confederacy. But a statue of Robert E. Lee that celebrates his confederate accomplishments? Nope. Get that shite indoors and out of the public eye.

My opinion would be the same, regardless of the statue's location.
I find Sanger to be reprehensible, but the existence of a statue of her has zero impact on my life.
I understand your perspective, I just look at it differently.
I don't think a discussion of history--positive or negative--is ever a bad thing.
