Good. Stop deifying a very select group of people and start emphasizing different perspectives about American history in public spaces.

Removing a statue isn't "cancelling" Thomas Jefferson. You can't cancel a dead person anyway. What does that even look like? Jefferson will get fired from his job? Banned from Twitter for a month? He will need to make an apology video before his comeback? The dude is dead. History will always be there, and Jefferson isn't the one being excluded from the history we teach. We all know who is actually excluded.

This is a choice about now and the future, specifically what values they want to honor in a public space. Why not make a deliberate choice about that, instead of just relying on the default of what was there before?

And it seems like a good choice to me. A fundamental problem in America is white supremacy, and it is deeply tied to the "founding fathers" mythology. How can we expect things to change if we can't change our cultural values and education?

Maybe put the statues in a park as a memorial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek_statues
