[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are taking down a bunch of statues in New Orleans. I hope they at least move them somewhere where students of history can view them. I dont mind occasions renamings if someone new / more relevant is to be honored - but this surgical excision of America's past is horrifying. They say study the past to avoid repeating it, but we are just hitting delete. How computer generation.[/quote]

The progressive agenda cannot survive concurrently with an understanding of history. Removing history is the worst kind of control.[/quote]

We are t removing history. We are merely declining to treat someone who waged war in America as though he were a hero. What's next, the Jonathan Pollard Memorial Parkway?  Hey, that's history too. [/quote]

How about all of the places still named after Native American tribes that waged war against the American colonies?  Shouldn't we rename those as well? Members of the massachusetts tribes waged war on the Bay Colony.  Members of the potomac empire attacked those at Jamestown. By your logic they were enemies that lost and therefore we should erase them from place names. But something tells me you'll say "well there are two sides to that— they were [i]right[/i] to attack us, or it was at least understandable."[/quote]
