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 .

Will enable more instances as the one in Memphis where ICE incorporate military training & tactics to civilian populous and point weapons at someone's unarmed daughter. There's still rights we protect the people with while in this country. Attempts to further give military a bad image for agendas.

Not only do I not like this map, I don't like the way they split Boone County in half last time either. Kehoe is wrong. Nothing this legislature does represents me and my values.

Don’t like politicians pushing the constitution aside to further their Trump led political agenda!

This seems like a political form of "bike shedding". Instead of focusing on important conservative legislation, lets move around lines on a map and pretend it makes some kind of improvement in Missourian's lives.
