People are calling for it and if they decide to do that it's their choice. Assuming it's fear of riots is an assumption - they've been standing there all this time riot proof so far.
things have only gotten completely crazy with PC nonsense since 9-11. before then, this extreme agenda was not pushed hard by the NWO.
liberals didn't just wake up yesterday and decide racism and monuments to slavery were bad, despite your belief in "cultural Marxism" and it's relative infancy that remains true.
you are flat out wrong, and you dont know anything about cultural marxism if you say that.
Years ago NYC had a big to do about honoring Colombus. As an Italian it was a little off putting but I understood. I didn't take it as an assult on my ancestors, just a recognition that despite that he was a controversial person who caused some negative feelings in enough people and so be it. I didn't get butt hurt over it.
columbus happened. the fact that he was part jewish and matreated the indians wont change history (even though he wasnt the first person to discover north america). same deal: leave the statue up to show that we were in error that he wasnt the first to discover north america and that he wasnt the benevolent explorer we thought he was. fact is, he did re-discover the US which began the european colonization, villian or not. that said, we dont need to celebrate him. respect his achievement? yes. who the hell is squeaky clean? mother teresa? ghandi? albert einstein? think again.
These statues serve the people better in museums if you are truly worried about education.
yes, we know how institutes of "learning" like the smithsonian handle things.
