But what of our history?

"...we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death."

--Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., dissenting opinion in Abrams v. United States, 250 U.S. 616 (1919)

So, who's opinion can't be expressed?

I mean, beside those of the people the Nazis attacked.

Monuments to white supremacy are not free speech. You are still quite free to express any white supremacist beliefs, and the presence or lack of a statue has no effect on that.

Good point. Intolerance wouldn't allow so much as a mention. Libs across the country, who have never laid eyes on any of the monuments, are celebrating their destruction. If they can't stand the thought of these statues existing, then certainly being forced to read about them at school in a history book would be unbearable.

Ah, the sweet smell of projection. It's the right that's openly trying to revise history textbooks, by pretending the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery.

Good or bad, history remains the same. I guess truth is too much for some because the left has been trying to rewrite history for decades. They've changed some of it, like the fact that their own were the creators of the KKK.

Now you're just lying outright. The right created the KKK. Only the most flagrantly dishonest historical revisionists pretend liberals did it. The KKK was created by conservatives, and is now entirely composed of conservatives. And that truth is apparently to much for snowflakes like you to handle.

This whole effort to destroy all things Confederate is a symptom of a much larger problem.

As you've demonstrated, the rank dishonesty of the right is the problem, as is the cowardice of the right's victimhood politics.
