Anyway, my point is: Life is too short. We need to learn from history. We need to be careful what we sterilize. The children of the future need to learn the good and bad of history. So we never repeat the bad and continue to promote the good.
There's a reason bad things tend to happen. Many people were never taught or paid attention to history.
Addressing the removing statue part, removing the statue doesn't erase the history, it can still be easily taught. The statue isn't the only thing keeping us from forgetting it happened. It's just removing something that was built to honor something that shouldn't have been honored. I'm sure you've heard of the story of Americans tearing down statues of King George during the revolutionary war and making musketballs out of them. They no longer wanted to have those statues honoring him.

Here in Arizona schools aren't allowed to discuss the civil war because it might offend the student of racist parents who don't like to be reminded that the south lost and that the war was about states rights to own slaves. This is why bad things are happening are going to continue to escalate sadly.

I wouldn't hold my breath on it. It's now considered offensive and racist.
Because too many people whine and cry and put the race card every time you turn around. Just like the changing of Cleveland Indians. Come on now. For like 100 years they have been named Indians.

Because people have gotten ridiculous and messing around with America’s favorite past time. That’s like messing around and getting rid of apple pie. Lol

If their team name was the vikings, would it be racist?
Also, I have a very difficult time believing that the bad mfers that were Native American warriors (aka Braves) would be so soft as to be offended by baseball players and fans, many of the of Native American descent, imitating a tomahawk chop. They do it because Native American warriors were awesome and tough! What has happened to our society that so many people believe this is racism?!

Well some people think serving watermelon is offensive and racist. Even though I love that fruit. It's over reactionary histeria.
