These statues should be removed. If the states want them back, they can put them in some....some museum. Otherwise, melt them.

Shame on Mississippi...
"Mississippi is the only state still incorporating the Confederate battle emblem into its state flag. Voters endorsed it by a margin of almost 2-to-1 in a 2001 referendum."

Edited to add something I just read here on DU:

Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, announced his plans on Twitter ...

"I will be introducing a bill to remove Confederate statues from the US Capitol building" ...
