STATUES: No way to learn

| September 26, 2017 10:46 PM

Regarding discussions about Civil War statues, tearing down anything physical does not prevent anyone but the shallowest humans from learning history. Books help; even the internet can help if you are careful.

I wonder how defenders of those monuments would feel if the statues included a slave under the feet of the people represented in the statue. That would be closer to a true representation of History. Also, the name Joe Dropulich can’t possibly be real; obviously a troll.
