Art like that should not be damaged or destroyed. Just got back from touring the Parthenon. The original damage done to the statues there was done by Christians who converted the Parthenon to a Christian church and rip the heads off of the statues of the Greek gods. Shameful

i agree. but i find your position weird. most who want the removal want so because they are "evil men", so you want to put them in a museum which will be for profit, so people will be making money off the statues instead of them being public property and viewable for free.
id also love for some clarification on where the line is to be drawn on statue removal. as ive already said, all great men in history are really, really, horrible men. Caesar? killed hundreds of thousands and enslaved just as many. alexander the great? same. the founders of damn near every country were horrible men who did horrible things to people. yet here we are, glorifying every single one of them. So, where does the line end? do we forgive julius caesar for his horrible transgressions against the gauls and other "barbarians"? Do we forgive Washington for his slaves?
