        I’d love to hear why statues honoring these two absolutely horrible men should remain?

        Can you point me to anyone making the argument that history should be removed from history books? Or is that just your straw man?

        This is what the Taliban did. Be careful removing our history.

        Wasn’t the city council told not to move the statue?

        They sought approval from the TN Historical Commission to sell the parks so that it was legal for the non-profit that bought them to take them down. Nice try though.
