Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

If you don't have any form of employment you should be subject to a curfew.

If you need to poll this question, then you're clueless.

I am a former resident of Columbia. I now live near Tulsa. Tulsa has set a curfew downtown for minors. It's sad that government has to assume the responsibilities of absent or clueless parents!

They should explore curfews, but I can guess that Columbia will hire outside consultants for $200,000, create a committee to design signage (lbtgq++ approved, of course). Then figure out without real consequences, curfews just scatter the cockroaches to somewhere else in Columbia.

Property tax should only be paid once when the property is transfer/sold. We should not be punished every year for 'things' that do not produce income to pay those taxes.

Taxed on absolutely everything. Once we buy something, we pay our taxes on it. Yet with "personal property " and having to pay this bogus tax every year- is it really ever ours? No! Because government can come take it. They house is already paid off!! Get out!!
