So yeah, King Jon-NYC would remove the confederate statues from government buildings and lands (save battlefields, museums, etc) but keep all the founders.
I wouldn't do that.
Most gun-control liberals hold amazingly stupid beliefs regarding such. Stephen King, on the other hand, makes a very sensible case for gun control from his perspective, because he's also a gun owner and an NRA member. He's educated himself.
I'd make history as public and as visible as possible. We need more education, not less. Keep as many uncomfortable statues and monuments around and in public view. Confront the past and learn from it. If that's too triggering, go back to your safe space on the couch a don't come out until you've read a goddamn book.

“We also need to make sure that our children are educated,” said Red Knack. “The other day, I was walking with my toddler son in the square, and he asked me ‘Daddy, who is Adolf Hitler?’ And I responded, ‘He killed millions of people, and that’s why we need to have a statue of him, instead of the victims, so that we never forget him.
And then my son asked me, ‘If I kill millions of people, will I get a big statue of me in the square?’”
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Old heros to some, mass murderers to others:
As Jon stated probably best left in cemeteries and museums.

Oh come on, like those are the two choices.
I'm for keeping them around, just not with the implied veneration. Hence at the battlefield or cemetery, not the courthouse or statehouse.
No, not the only two choices, that's just how I'd go and why. Lee is not Stalin or anywhere close.

All depends on whom you kill, in context to who's left around afterward.

Yes it does. It does precisely that. The statue literally represents who Virginia was from 1861 to 1865. That's the entire point of the goddamn statue.

Rolling Stone, Sabrina Erdely is a liar, and you publish stories that lead to bricks thrown into innocent people's windows because you love the sound of the word "misogyny." Shut the fuck up.
