    An interesting POV on the statues.
    Opinion: Congressman, Native American: When political correctness runs amok -- erasing our history doesn't change it
    Fox News

    As a Cherokee, I can attest to the fact that Native Americans have been on the losing side of history. But let me ask you this: Is history not an opportunity to learn from one's mistakes? As soon as we forget about our history, we are bound to repeat the same errors. Read the full story

    Such a silly argument, even from a Native American.

    Taking down a statue doesn't "erase history".

    The Saddam statue in Baghdad should not have been taken down because it's history, said no conservative EVER.

    I've already answered that question: NO. Not even West Virginia Republicans take that suggestion seriously because Robert Byrd learned from his mistake, apologized for it, reformed from it, and redeemed himself many times over. Even the NAACP publicly mourned his death.

    sounds a lot like the actions of Robert E Lee after the war, but of course he cant be forgiven
