Should the confederate statues in public parks be taken down and placed in museums?
I personally believe that statues dedicated to traitorous confederates have no reason to be publicly displayed in our parks. They are an insult to the hundreds of thousands of union soldiers that gave their lives to reunite the country.
I am not a liberal or supporter of domestic terrorist groups such as antifa and BLM. I believe that defacing statues and public property is a very horrible crime. I believe that they should instead be placed in a museum where they can still be honored for their historical significance but not standing in our public parks.
In this thread, I request that all discussion remains civil and that people do not call each other terms such as snowflake, libtard, nazi, or communist. This is meant to be an intelligent discussion, not a flame war.

The confederacy was your last hope for survival though.
The union was what got you into this shit to begin with.

You think you're not better than them, but you aren't.
Confederate soldiers gave their lives for their cause. They were, and are Americans. They deserve their monuments. The war is over. None of us were directly affected by it. Be an objective adult and realize that peoples sacrifice shouldn't be erased because of Muh feels.

But we aren't destroying a confederate graveyard by relocating a statue, are we?

So, let's say, once ISIS is eradicated, should the countries of the middle east erect statues for ISIS because they gave their lives to the cause of creating an Islamic state?

Whose to say that isn't next, if it hasn't already happened? I'd rather not set any precedent for removing a monument just to avoid the possibility of such a travesty occurring.

That's up to them, not us. Looking at the Middle East as a whole, though, I'd say they'll just continue their legacy of tearing down statues of dictator A-Z while fucking up their own countries further each time.

If they wanted to, why not.
I believe you're missing the point however.

>traitorous confederates
a lot of those statues are older than your grandparents, who had a better understanding of history than you
notice how the statues are only a problem now that communists want to make the rules in our country, and call others traitors
