Has There Been Any Discussion To Remove Confederate Statues In Statuary Hall In U.S. Capitol.....

building - or at least shrouding them?

Would this have to be done by a vote in Congress?

It would be interesting if it did require a Congressional vote - to see who would be on the record to retain those statues.

I don't like naming parks and having statues where groups can hold rallies (with tiki torches) and scare the rest of town.

Leave them in the Capitol.
