The simple answer to the question is should we remove everything related to anything that might disturb anyone? If a local community wants to vote to remove something, they certainly can. But it shouldn’t be as part of some Stalinesque purge and removal of history.
Via Hollywood Life:
Miss New Jersey’s opinion on whether or not to keep confederate statues didn’t sit well with a lot of Miss America viewers, and they made that clear on Twitter. What did she say?
Miss New Jersey, Kaitlyn Schoeffel…didn’t do so well in the second round of questions at the 2018 Miss America pageant. This year, the competition, held on September 10 in Atlantic City, featured an unprecedented two rounds of questions — one lighthearted, one hard hitting. Kaitlyn nailed the first round, but when posed a question about confederate statues she floundered. Judge Tara Lipinski asked Kaitlyn about a very pertinent topic: whether or not the United States should keep confederate statues standing, or if they should be removed.
