I agree that we should not sanitize history.  I agree that the Confederate monuments/statues should not be destroyed.  What I do not agree with is to allow them to continue to grace our government institutions.  This, in effect, condones what the symbols stand for and alienate a portion of our population.  This is no way educates those who might see them about the atrocities of slavery.

Instead move them to museums and/or Confederate cemeteries where the history can be explained or taught.
