With the present situation of people being offended by historical happenings, they seem to believe that it is okay to take down statues, remove books from shelves, and the destruction of anything historical that happens to offend someone on the smallest of reasons.
Excuses have been created to get people on their side. Excuses are being created to force people to agree with their futile reasonings for fear of being called a racist, bigot, and the list goes on and on. It is disgraceful that these people continual to force their viewpoints on the rest of society. It is shameful to say the least.
The removal and desecration of statues and even works of art and burning of books can only express the ignorance and small mindedness of individuals who practice culture canceling as a form of cleansing society. History can not be changed, it is what it is. Research if valuable in gaining new evidence and a new understanding of countries, cultures, and societies. As one person said: "If Columbus still affects you, perhaps you need to reconsider your priorities. We are to learn from the past, not recreate the past to make it fit into the present cultures. What happened in 1492 should be a learning experience. We are not to live as if we are still in 1492 and haven't the courage nor the sense to move ahead.
History is something to learn about so not to make the same mistakes or errors.
