christopher colombus killed children for a living and he's honored highly for "discovering america"
i don't see what's wrong with a statue of lee, particularly compared to the above
There's nothing inherently wrong with a statue of a Confederate general in the south. The deal is, when a community no longer feels that a statue is honoring a legacy they want to honor, it should be within that communities right to move a historic monument to a place of history rather than on public grounds for everyone to see.
Its in front of an old courthouse they want to turn into a visitor center for Charlottesville, so I can see why they wouldn't want it to be so front in center for people coming in from out of town.
