It’s not a threat to public safety, I have no stake in the game but to erase American history is sad. My great Grandfather got the Medal of Honor and had a plaza named after him and it’s a matter of time before it’s offensive to someone.

hey, can you do me a favor and look up the dedication speech for that statue, and when it was commissioned, and then lemme know whether or not you still consider it representative of American history.

Let’s do this, you sit beside me at the bar and I treat you with the utmost respect and may even have awesome conversation, instead of choosing sides from the past . We had a past it’s what made us better today. Don’t let a political party make you hate for no reason!

Get rid of it

It won't solve the problem.

Obviously, but it’s a step in the right direction

Only through the proper procedure, I don't agree with someone tearing it down putting others in harm's way.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt

What's the statue gonna do? Come to life and start slaying people? That's the only way a statue can be a threat to public safety.

Hard to imagine that a university chancellor can be that unaware of the Constitution and the First Amendment but I guess its happening all across America these days.
-
And how does this have anything to do with what our saying exactly?
-
If you have to ask you’re part of the problem.
-
What problem? That we need to remove hateful symbols in this country?
-
The revision of history and the stifling of free speech are the hallmarks of totalitarian ideologies.
-
How does removing a statue stifle free speech? How do we lose history by removing these statues
-
Really? Why was it erected in the first place?
-
To honor traitors. If you are a true American you would want the statue removed
