The Interior Department won’t be removing monuments to Confederate soldiers at national battlefields that are “an important part of our country’s history,” according to a spokesman.
“The National Park Service is committed to safeguarding these memorials while simultaneously educating visitors holistically and objectively about the actions, motivations and causes of the soldiers and states they commemorate,” spokesman Jeremy Barnum told E&E News.
National Park statements come after a woman was killed counter-protesting a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. The city voted to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

DeleteSlow clap 12:25. Possibly the dumbest comment I've seen on this issue yet.
DeleteGiving in to extremists never stops the drama and rhetoric. This racists war needs to stop I can't believe that because Hillary lost an election they have gone off the deep like they have. There have been presidents I didn't want but I always knew the next four years could be different. It is after all a country of all religions, all faiths and all colors keep it together, and learn to tolerate one another if you can't love everyone just keep it to yourself and pray for answers.
ReplyDeleteOsama Bin Laden (aka Tim Osmond) was a CIA operative and was nowhere near the US when Mossad pulled off the 911 attacks upon our Country. Learn the truth folks.
