i don’t know how much of the focus is on george washington as is the focus that is actually on confederate soldiers. it seems like a real blue v red issue. conservatives wants to keep them up to preserve history while democrats want them out because they fought against the US. im proud to live in a city (white plains) where we honor the American heroes of the revolution but also civil rights leaders like MLK.
yea. you said there are radicals. there are equally as many radicals on the other side who don’t want to teach that george washington had slaves. how about everyone learns everything george washington did and make the judgement for themselves. any logical person (and most liberals) would agree with you that while he did many bad things, he deserves to be recognized for helping create and lead the first democracy.
Many good prople did bad things. The good must be balanced against the bad.

There are radicals who would cancel george washington while honoring Malcolm X. I disagree.
