Here’s an idea. If a medal - or a statue, or a painting - offends you, just don’t look at it. Look at something else.
There's a TV show that I find offensive. As a Conservative, I shrug and decide to watch something else.
There's a TV show that a Liberal finds offensive. As a Liberal, they decide to start a campaign to get the show cancelled, make sure none of the actors ever work again, and get all copies of the show taken down from Netflix or removed from libraries and burned.
