[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the left and I don't like the vandalism.  I would be fine if his statue came down through legal means.  I have long thought the holiday was misplaced and should be renamed.  [/quote]
Me too. I'd like to remind people that "liberals" and "the left" aren't monoliths. While we have similar beliefs, we have different means to those ends.

I'm in favor of taking statues down and putting them in a museum or other educational facility. I am not pro-vandalism. [/quote]

Serious question:  what museum would want those statues?  Wouldn't they be vandalized too?  I don't like Christopher Columbus but, I also don't agree with vandalism.[/quote]

It's believed to be the first monument in the country to honor Columbus. It was put up in 1792.

That might make some museum interested in it. History and what not. [/quote]

Then it should stay where it is due to ots historical significance.[/quote]

Maybe make a museum called history of genocide in the US.[/quote]

Where did you learn history?  Read a book[/quote]
