Like I always say. History is history. Weather it is something to be honored by or disappointed with. It is still history and should be protected and displayed to remind you of both the right and the wrong of what you have done.

I cannot advocate vandalism. On the other hand, I would be just as happy to see ANY Confederate statues removed from public site. Put them in museums as a part of history, not out in the public as some kind of honorific memorial. I do not believe Confederates deserve to be honored.

Survey so far is 84 to 29. The folks who read this thread seem to favor leaving it alone by a large margin.

90% aren't from New Orleans, so it doesn't matter.
