A month or two ago, the tear-down advocates, such as those in Charlottesville, Va., a week ago and in Boston last weekend, said such monuments should be moved to museums. Ours is at a museum. Apparently that's not enough anymore.
Ironically, even though it is the NAACP that wants the Georgetown monument removed, its then-leader was present 10 years ago when it was dedicated. As was Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, a Democrat, by the way.
Times, they do change, don't they?

This country is long OVERDUE a civil war.
Outlaw NAACP Racists .....if Whites can't have NAAWP !!!!
if one is so smitten with the treasonous Lee, one must acknowledge his disapproval of said monuments. His wish to not be interred in the confederate uniform reflected his desire to forget and unite the country.
Remove all the free handouts then.
Snowflakes are gonna get STOMPED.
Remove Obama Plan (Free Handout) !!!
Well it was your own beloved Trump who stated that the Confederate flag should be taken down and placed in a museum.
Now I hear on the news that they are going to put up a new statue to honor someone or another. NO MORE STATUES PLEASE. Waste of time
I hate to say it, but I think you're correct. The lines are forming.
"Treasonous"? All a matter of perspective. To the Brits, the colonists committed treason but we consider them patriots..other than who won, how is Lee any different?
Treason, by definition only. trust me, as a student of United States history, I find what Lee decided to be most honorable, as any man of honor would stand for his homeland. However, Lee made no great effort to condone nor condemn slavery other than his acknowledgement of its evil. My belief has always been that the facts, verifiable, should be the base of decisions, devoid of emotion.
