And celebrating the Confederacy doesn't exactly open up an intellectual discussion on things. Just a bunch of rednecks will drive around with Confederate flags hanging off their trucks. Otherwise you would call it Civil War Remembrance Month or something like that.
While your bias is clear here, you and I aren't terribly far apart on the crux of the issue.
The power to do something doesn't mean you should do it. That goes for removing statues and declaring "Confederate Heritage Month" - certainly it can be done. I doubt it should have been done.
But nuance and context are literally wasted on most Americans.
