When are we going to rid ourselves of those nasty reminders in D.C. like the Vietnam Veterans wall, or the WWII memorial, etc. After all, American soldiers killed a lot of Asians and Europeans in our violent history.
History=bad
WOK = good

I see nothing to support your comment. The statues are of traitors. If you want statues on your property, then erect one. Nothing stopping you. No one is saying we should not teach about traitors, but what I see is people here honoring traitors, and even denying they were traitors. That is certainly rewriting history.
See any NAZI flags in Germany? See any statues of Hitler? See any statues of Saddam Husain.
I firmly believe we should accurately teach our children about our history, both the good and the bad. As a vet I am totally opposed to honoring anyone that that’s up arm against our country.
