Breitbart has published a two-sided debate regarding the dismantling of Confederate monuments across the South, and columnist Jarrett Stepman is arguing that the monuments should be protected, not destroyed.
The issue is a sensitive one for many in the south. While current supporters for the Confederacy have largely clung to the idea because of family lineage or southern pride, many have tried to hijack symbols of the Confederacy for purposes of racism and violence.
Those people have largely won, as Confederate symbols across America have fallen in a stunningly quick fashion.
But now that time has passed from the shooting in Charleston, many are looking back at what may have been an altogether too-quick knee-jerk reaction by the country and the south, and wondering if the erasure of the Confederacy from our history was wise.
Stepman argues that America doesn’t need to fundamentally change and transform our history, but rather transform out future. Read his thoughts on the next page:
With a hate crime extension? No, that is only for the PC-promoting leftists to use.
So so sad and sick
Has anyone realized that there is another group destroying sacred historical monuments? Theyre known as ISIS and ISIL. That should show u the ignorance
People were outraged when many historic pieces were destroyed by Isis but not a peep when Americans want to destroy historic monuments and christian monuments this is insane
Wow need to reteach history to those that fail history
A true democrat will have obamacare, no exception
Yep, theirs your racist .
And yet, now, almost a century and a half after that ear, the Skinheads, white supremacist groups, and even the KKK have been showing up and supporting the other political party. And, boy, have they found the candidate they love like no other before now this year.

Find them and hang them by their balls!!!
Leave the monuments alone, attack a fence post or ?? But leave these beautiful tributes to many warriors that fought for our freedom, wether you are black or white, you have freedoms that many others doesn’t, so grow up be the adult that your parents will be proud of.
