[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was the left that went on a statue tearing down rampage.  Don't whine now[/quote]

There's a difference.  We celebrate patriots, like the Tuskeegee Airmen.  We don't celebrate traitors, like the Confederacy.[/quote]

It was more than Confederate statutes (which are historical in their own right), but you knew that....

Some monuments that were not associated with the Confederacy, slavery, or racism were also targeted. In Madison, Wisconsin, the statue of abolitionist Hans Christian Heg, was torn down and thrown into a lake.  Protestors also tore down a statue titled Forward, by sculptor Jean Pond Miner, which depicts the embodiment of the Wisconsin state motto. In Portland, a statue of an elk was removed after several bonfires lit beneath the statue caused structural damage to the statue's base. A statue of York, a Black slave with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was removed by the University of Portland after it was vandalized.

Rather than erase history by pulling down statues, why not put of plaques or other statues that tell the other side of the story?[/quote]
