  1. History is history good or bad. It can't be extinguished by force; you can only learn by it and try not to repeat the same mistakes. - Tearing down busts and statues won't rewrite the history books.

  2. It could repeat..... After all.... what goes around comes around

  3. So then let's destroy paintings of Henry VIII, Louis of France, busts of Nero, Caligula, Tutankhamun, Octavian, Marcus Aurelius, Julius Caesar, Cicero, George III, all the pharaohs, etc., etc.. - Let's wipe out all references to Stalin, Mao, Lenin and Brezhnev too.

  4. Let's live in darkness forever because some people are offended. - How about God ? He destroyed thousands in Sodom and Gemorrah and Jericho, etc., etc..

  5.  @elmoworld850  All history should be taught in moderation. We're dealing with little children not MIT, Union or Vassar students here. Later in life kids can delve deeper into the pros and cons of eras and figureheads. Right now 60+% of Americans don't know how many congresspeople there are.

  6. Btw - I believe the Bible and the Ten Commandments should be taught in all schools, and Moses too. That's what I truly believe just like some think 1619 should be taught but that means jack to the masses. What we think won't control millions of young students.
