Christ, saw this coming a mile away after all the hooplah over confederate statues last year.
This movement is going to simply highlight that LITERALLY EVERYONE in history had misgivings, whether on-side or off-side at the time, when compared to our current set of values. Hell, even literal saints back in the day did plenty of things unacceptable today.
Are we to denounce every king and queen in history over their treatment of various groups, colonization and enslavement of peoples, etc? Sure its not something we would do today, but are we supposed to pretend it didn't happen? These people played pivotal roles in our past and to remove any reference or celebration of that role?
