It seems so obvious. Why would we still countenance Confederate statuary in our public places? As in outside the Hillsborough County Courthouse.
Such statutes are appropriate in museums–where the focus is on history, like it or not. It’s part of us. But not in public where a salute-to-a-morally-flawed cause can still be inferred by the usual suspects. That should be apart from us.
And BTW, isn’t “Civil War,” America’s or anybody else’s, about as blatant an oxymoron as there is?
