Great statue post I saw on FB

"The wrongs of history are best remembered in history books, not put high on pedestals to be looked up to."

1. I agree with that statement!

There's a story circulating on a right-wing website that parks officials are unwilling to remove Confederate statues from battle sites. That's one of the few (perhaps only) places where I would be comfortable with statues existing: battle sites and museums, not in public squares or in front of legislative buildings as though they should be admired.

2. Some have been moved to Confederate cemeteries.

I'm ok with that too.

3. Sure.

I won't speak ill of the dead.

4. exactly the right is trying to conflate

two separate things. Putting something on a pedestal vs. knowing it existed. No statues to Hitler are needed to recall he existed and what he did. Likewise the Confederates.
