[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 2974835, member: 3528"] This has been my argument from the start. There's a huge difference between "Statues that honor Robert E Lee or other Confederate officers [I]for their actions during the Civil War[/I]" and "Statues that honor people for great things they did, but who happened to fight for a wrong and immoral cause earlier in their life". Those statues aren't raised to honor their Confederate heritage. The college is not named after "Addison and Randolph Clark, heroes of the Confederate Army". They are honored as two brothers who founded a university to better their community (albeit one that remained segregated for way too long). If we're gonna tear down any honors for people that have sinned at some point in their, then we might as go full iconoclast and realize we're just not gonna have statues. [/QUOTE]
