"Anna Brosche is a Republican at-large member of the Jacksonville City Council in Florida"She has no skin in the game. I mean it's not her heritage. So solly.
Curious what makes her think museums and schools will take them?
I am sure there are museums where they can be respectfully displayed.
At least Dave gets it right.
And Americans will meekly succumb to the American Taliban. This country is done.
Maybe they’ll want to burn down museums next
Jackson is one of the most popular boys’ names in the state of Florida. Somehow, I don’t think this idea will go over big inJacksonville. It is not at all like Charlottesville.
They seem to forget that many of these men (largely teenagers) went and served as ordered by their states and their nation ( right or wrongly formed) ) Not because of their personal views.
Just wait a minute, didn’t Andrew Jackson own slaves?
Then, shouldn’t they also change the name of Jacksonville?
We know how she feels, what about the people who live there?
What do they say? How do they feel about it?
I say, “Let the residents of Jacksonville make that decision”. Not some snivelling PC monger
They intend to use this event in Charlottesville as a catalyst to remove all Confederate monuments.
When they are done with that they will move on to some other aspect of American history.
Anyone resisting the erasure of history will be tarred as a racist white supremacist.
Everyone who is not behind Antifa, BLM and the rest must be racists, bigots, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, etc.
No defense of American history, values, culture or way of life will be tolerated.
What makes them think that removing the statues will make things all hunky-dory from now on?..................
When will the ‘anti-Confederacy’ folks demand that all confederate veterans be exhumed from cemeteries and their remains sent to an ‘appropriate site, such as the local land fill?’
How is it that the further we get away from the civil right movement the more sensitive people get
Betch 90% of students and 80% of adults couldn't tell you who these statues represent.
Well, you can’t name a school after Lynch any longer.
Stalin and Mao erased history. It’s good for the revolution to create an all new reality.
100% hypocrisy!
The UK has had a turbulent history, but it reveres all of it on the theory ‘Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it’.
History is our heritage. Oliver Cromwell is an example of why a nation does not erase its roots or it will rot.

Popular culture
Despite his death over 350 years ago, to this day Cromwell continues to provoke a strong reaction following his significant role in a dramatic and troubled period of British history. He has prompted numerous monuments, films, television and radio programmes and been broadly referenced throughout popular culture, from being the codeword to warn of an imminent German invasion of Britain in 1940 to Monty Python’s 1989 Oliver Cromwell and more recently the 2004 single by Morrissey, Irish Blood, English Heart. However Winston Churchill’s suggestion to name the British battleship HMS Oliver Cromwell when he was First Lord of the Admiralty did not gain royal approval, funnily enough!

Why stop there?
All blacks with the last name of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and White should have to change their names to something less racist.

Fools. Just like Isis and Alquaeida sp?
Erase historicAL icons so no one knows the history of the past or its progress or regress.
Both can happen.
