I have a simple solution for the confederate statues: The "Benedict Arnold"-solution.

[DetlefK]

Let's introduce a bill for the following:

- Monuments, statues, plaques or other commemorative art of people/institutions/organizations who committed treason against the US may not be displayed in public venues.

- If such an object is on display in a public venue, it is to be transferred to a private venue such as a museum or storage-facility.

- Alternatively, the object is to be modified to no longer refer to people/institutions/organizations defined in paragraph 1.



This is the statue commemorating Benedict Arnold's victories for the US. As you can see, his own monument does not refer to him.

1. Brilliant! I think you have found the perfect solution.

2. Wasn't John Brown convicted of treason?

Wouldn't his statue have to go also?

3. I'd like to see April 9th

as a National Holiday. Call it National Surrender Day to celebrate the end of the Civil war and end of slavery.
Great way to remind us of our culture.
