This is nothing new. He was always a highly controversial figure and many people have always been unhappy with the name. Do some reading about him- fascinating historical figure, but if you do your research you may understand why people take issue with the name.
Taking issue is one thing - that's long been a part of normal life. Lashing out at an inanimate statue or memorial is a growing trend.
Kind of surprising nobody complained much about Gandhi's statue in DC being vandalized (actually, not too surprising, who wants to answer the charge, "Why are you defending a statue of a racist?".) Apparently Gandhi said some unkind words about blacks. Cancel.
US Grant's statues/memorial destruction/vandalism might surprise some - what with his leading the Union army to victory in the war to end slavery and all. The woke mob knows he owned a slave before the war. Perhaps they'll be a woke book burning since he was also an author.

We have a HS here, named after Caeser Rodney and the students are protesting that it should be changed to Harriet Tubman HS. He cast the decisive Delaware vote for independence and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Just wondering how long Mt. Rushmore will be able to stand.

That'll be interesting. You can't just put a rope around it and pull it down
Just Democrats doing what Democrats do best. Destroy things. Statues. Family life. Middle class. Small business. Towns. Cities. States. Country.
