I'm fine with them taking down statues that celebrate the Confederacy because they lost the Civil War. Winners write the history books, not the losers. Since I'm not from the South, I just don't get worshiping the losing side of a conflict that they weren't part of or alive for. Maybe that's a reason many of the southern states have the worst education systems in the country: They're too busy learning/obsessing about the losers in history instead why the winners were successful.
