Don’t these so-called academics have anything better to do than change history to their liking? Will they sleep better and feel less threatened if the statue is removed, destroyed or hidden?  “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” — Maya Angelou

Perhaps a reasonable resolution for the overly sensitive, self-righteous cancel culture crowd would be to remove the statue to a not-so-prominent location, erect it without a base, and provide a detailed plaque with a truly educational message, in keeping with the mission of a purportedly educational institution.
