The Democrats passed a law last year, stripping monuments and war memorials of their legal protection.

Under that law, third parties may ask for a statue when it is removed, a historical society for example, but the Democrats are not required to honor any of those requests.

And it the Democrats ultimately want to destroy a monument, that is fully permissible.

I’ve found the vast majority of monument haters to be second and third generation to this country. They weren’t passed down the same value system that most native born Southerners were, the most important of which is family. Every one of my ancestors during that era were confederate soldiers. I’m not going to judge my ancestors by the standards I live by today.
