It is a really, really bad precedent to remove historical objects or monuments based off current morality

that is literally what ISIS just did in Syria with all those historic monuments
Are you really equating a 50 year old carving by in Georgia to the thousands of years old monuments, temples, etc.?

I just don't know any other types of people that would go look in awe at confederate soldiers.


Same reason people go to look in awe at adulterers. Sometimes there is more to a person than the color of their skin, or clothes.

can you tell me the reasoning behind ISIS removing historical monuments?
Well, I assume ISIS destroyed monuments rather than removed them to a museum or other site. Their "reasoning" behind that I assume would be because they are violent religio-fascists - i.e. no reasoning.

Is Stone Mountain federal land or Georgia land?

I'm pretty sure it's a state park, no?
