I have no issues with them going to museums.

I just don't see how being a part of the Confederacy is anything to be proud of.

are you not able to do two things at once? you act like taking down a statue and moving it to a museum is using up 100% of their time and resources and doesn't allow them to do ANYTHING else...

No one is destroying history, you dolt. There's plenty of confederate statues in multiple civil war museums. There's no reason to keep every single racist memorial from the confederacy.

There are no small mercies anymore. Giving people the benefit of the doubt only bites you when they double down on their position, and you ceded ground to them in the spirit of rhetorical civility.

It's a distortion of history for Maryland to have Confederate monuments in the first place.

And what is being destroyed? Did you even read the article to find out what they're going to do with the statues?

You're not even trying bro.

To be fair, one of the statues in question honors the chief justice of the Supreme Court responsible for the Dred Scott decision.
