Okay I follow you. I feel like a fair point has been made on the Confederate symbols. The founders are untouchable though. I would gladly protest the removal of anything to do with the founders.

Why? They were slave owning traitors to their country.

People are fickle though. At that point (playing devil's advocate now) haven't we set up a pass/fail system for retention of statues/whatever that the framers are going to fail?

FWIW I think there are compelling arguments as to why there should be resistance when it comes to founders, but society doesn't work that way. It made all the sense in the world to recognize gay unions, but now we're fricking fighting a war about pronouns.
