re: Are we ignoring the monuments?

In Houston alone, our majority Democrat school board has voted to rename 7 schools in the last year at a cost $1.2 million. Some of those schools were named for locally historic figures who happened to have Confederate ties as one part of their biographies, so they had to be excised and eliminated from our communal history. Activists are already calling for street renamings here. And it's happening all over the country.

After the North Carolina shooting, Jon Stewart blamed, in part, highways named after Robert E. Lee (Lee Highway is the name of two major routes, especially one through Virginia).

It's never going to end. The activists aren't going to stop when they run out of obvious targets.
