Confederate symbols should be in museums, cemeteries, and historical parks and NOT in public parks or on state/local government buildings. That's my opinion. Of course people can put those symbols on their private property if they wish.
Why? (1) Because the Confederates fought to destroy the United States of America. (2) Most of those statues were erected as part of an informal program to glorify whites, and segregate blacks in the era 1880-1930. They were erected as acts of defiance and an attempt to whitewash/glorify the old Confederacy.
As logical as it gets.

Yep, this is probably where the country will end up. It's like being against gay marriage, there's really not a great argument against it. Common sense will eventually win out over time.
