  There is something adolescent about taking it out on sculptural public statuary.
  Better it is to educate about a perceived grievance of a historical nature than cause pain and aggravation in a knee jerked reaction by removal of
  art that many folks have been admiring.
  The war has been over for so long……time to be reconciled to that fact.
  A more thoughtful approach would be to create a sculptural commission that mirrors your preference and ideas.
  Not so easily done is it?

  It is ironic accusing these statues and memorials of racist intent. Those of us who practice employment law deal with racist intent every day. It is difficult, if not impossible to show racist intent when one overriding motive is so obvious – that of grief. It is just exceedingly unlikely grieving families would allow politics to trump remembering the fallen. As a veteran msyelf, I can attest we would never allow politics to intrude on remembrance.
