Do you think the law restricting abortion protests to a certain distance from clinics is similarly unreasonable? Are we infantilizing those women?
Let me go right ahead and de-rail this train with everyone's favourite smart-ass argument ("not everything Hitler did was bad"). Would it be okay for a German community to raise a statue of Hitler for his work to bring Germany out of post WWI depression, as long as they included a plaque outlining his faults? What if the statue is outside a community centre frequented by Jews?
Most people on this board would see a tremendous difference here, but if you're indigenous, the distinction isn't going to be nearly as apparent.
For the record, yes, I literally just compared JAM to Hitler, and no, that does not mean I think he was as bad in the grand scorecard of life. I'm not even saying JAM scores below zero. I just think it's more important to be respectful of fellow humans than to perpetuate flawed historical narratives, even if we start adding *'s to paint a more complete picture and make it less flawed.

Did he kill 6 million FN? Oh no? Maybe find a better arguement, this isn't high school anymore where we compare something we are against to Hitler.
