Well, just as I suspected a week ago, the mobs have moved on from the confederates, it's not stopping there. They have also moved on from public parks and are now going to museums and cemeteries. Now, they are going after our founding fathers. This is not acceptable.

Teddy Roosevelt is coming out of the Museum of Natural History in NYC, for example.
Mmm..
Try to put them up in Islamic countries and see what happens.
When they were deciding what to put where the twin towers fell, there was large, public outcry when a mosque was proposed.

Slave owners Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Andrew Johnson.
Fought in wars against Indians: Washington, Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln
Fought in wars against Hispanics: Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Teddy Roosevelt
Known to have cheated on their wives: Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland, Garfield, Wilson, Harding, FDR, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Reagan, Clinton, Trump
This tearing down history is nothing more than BULL CRAP!!
Confederate generals and officers took arms against the United States. They even attacked federal land. THAT is what makes them traitors.
I am concerned when they are removed my a mob of rioters. Heck, any destructive actions taken by a mob are concerning to me.
If a statue is to be removed it should be done by the proper authorities after debate and discussion. One side states its case for removal and the other side states its case to leave them up.
When the statue of Joe Paterno was removed at Penn State a few years ago, it was the university that did it, not a rioting mob. That's the way it should be done.
Indeed. This is Barbarians At The Gates. If statues are to be removed, it should not be determined by .01% of the population, who are rioting and by all rights of civilization should be arrested and charged with felonies.
Removal should be brought up in city hall or at the legislature. This is more a Soviet style rewriting of history.

This is in England where they have jumped on the bandwagon (last week I told you that they wanted to remove Churchill). An online group is petitioning for it's removal, calling Mahatma Gandhi a fascist, racist, and a sexual predator (apparantly he was the Harvey Weinstein of India). They also claim he has "well documented anti-black racism".
